Dashboard Overview
The dashboard is the central surface of WPHammer. It aggregates operational data across all servers and sites in your team, organized into tabs that each answer a specific question about your infrastructure.
Layout
The dashboard uses a tabbed layout. Each tab presents a focused view of one operational domain. A sidebar provides quick navigation, and running background jobs are visible so you always know what work is in progress.
Tabs
Overview
The default view. Shows a high-level summary of your servers and sites, an activity feed of recent actions, and any currently running jobs. This is where you land after login and where you return to check the general state of things.
Servers
Lists all synced servers with their health status, IP address, provider, region, and disk usage. From here you can trigger syncs, access server detail pages, and review which servers need onboarding attention.
Sites
A table of all WordPress sites across your servers. Includes domain, server, PHP version, and the status of key features — backups, security scanning, uptime monitoring, and visual checks. Bulk actions let you enable or pause features across multiple sites at once.
WordPress
The inventory view. Shows WordPress core versions, installed plugins, and themes across all sites. Highlights available updates and lets you run bulk updates from a single surface. Use this tab to answer: which sites are running outdated plugins, and where do updates need attention?
Security
Aggregated security findings across all sites. Shows finding counts by severity — critical, high, medium, low, and informational. Links to individual scan results and finding details for triage and remediation.
Uptime
Uptime percentages, response times, and incident history across monitored sites. Shows which sites are currently up, which have recent incidents, and overall uptime trends.
Health
Server-level health metrics — disk usage, system resource consumption, and service availability. Useful for spotting infrastructure-level issues before they affect individual sites.
Navigation patterns
Global search
A search bar in the header lets you find servers and sites by name across your entire team. Results link directly to the relevant detail page.
Server and site detail
Clicking a server or site name from any dashboard tab takes you to its detail page. Detail pages use their own tabbed layout with sections specific to that resource — overview, settings, deployments, backups, security, and more.
Breadcrumbs
Detail pages include breadcrumb navigation so you can move back up to the dashboard or parent server without losing context.
Dark mode
A theme toggle in the header switches between light and dark mode. The preference persists across sessions.
Team context
The dashboard shows data scoped to your current team. If you belong to multiple teams, switch teams from the user menu. Team members see servers and sites based on their role — owners and managers see everything, while members may be scoped to specific servers.
What to explore next
From the dashboard, the documentation continues with deeper coverage of each feature area:
- Teams & Authentication — roles, permissions, and invitations
