Big Brother

 Big Brother, Plugins

This plugin helps maintain your WordPress system. Since these are not one but two plugins that work together, this maintenance can be done in the form of remote monitoring, in a master-slave relationship. The plugin is recommended primarily for those who manage multiple WordPress pages and want to review their status in one place, but don’t want to use a third-party service to do so.
