Coverage

Everything obseria.io monitors in your WordPress stack

From server-side PHP execution to client-side browser performance — the full request lifecycle in one tool, without context switching.

PHP Response Time & Latency

Track p50, p95 and p99 latency for every WordPress route — WP-Admin, REST API, theme templates and custom page builders. Spot slow pages before users notice them.

Route-level tracing, TTFB, admin latency

Database Query Analysis

Surface slow queries, high query counts per request and MySQL connection pool exhaustion. Understand exactly which plugin or theme is hammering your database on every load.

Slow query log, query count, connection pool

PHP Error & Exception Tracking

Capture fatal errors, warnings, deprecated function calls and unhandled exceptions in real time — with full stack traces and request context attached, not just raw log lines.

Fatal errors, stack traces, deprecation notices

WooCommerce Order & Checkout

Monitor order throughput, checkout conversion rate, add-to-cart events and payment gateway response time. Know the moment your store's checkout is degraded.

Order funnel, gateway latency, cart events

Active Sessions & Traffic

Track concurrent logged-in users, anonymous visitor sessions and bot traffic separately. Correlate session spikes with performance regressions in a single timeline.

Session monitoring, bot separation, concurrency

Plugin & Theme Performance

Per-plugin hook execution time pinpoints exactly which plugin adds the most latency to each request — no trial-and-error deactivation needed, no guessing.

Hook timing, plugin profiling, theme overhead

Core Web Vitals from Real Users

LCP, CLS and INP collected from real browser sessions via the lightweight obseria.io browser agent. Segment by page template, device type, browser and country.

LCP, CLS, INP, real user monitoring

Security & Audit Events

Failed logins, XML-RPC abuse, unusual admin actions and file modification events streamed as structured logs — fully correlatable with performance data in one view.

Login auditing, XML-RPC, file integrity

Why obseria.io

The WordPress monitoring tool built for production teams

Generic APM tools were designed for monolithic Java services — not for WordPress, where a single page load can trigger 60+ database queries across dozens of plugins. obseria.io's WordPress monitoring is purpose-built to surface what actually matters: which plugin is adding 200 ms to every admin request, why checkout fails under load, and which template is driving the highest LCP.

Unlike New Relic or Datadog, obseria.io stores raw PHP spans and query traces at no extra per-host cost. You get 13-month retention on all trace data, so you can compare this Black Friday's WooCommerce checkout performance with last year's — without sampling away the spikes that matter most.

Every metric, trace and log collected from your WordPress site is OpenTelemetry-native. That means no proprietary SDK lock-in: export your data at any time, extend instrumentation with custom spans, and integrate with any OTel-compatible tool already in your stack.

What's included

  • OpenTelemetry-native — no proprietary agent lock-in
  • Supports PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3
  • Zero-configuration WooCommerce auto-detection
  • GDPR-compliant — no PII captured in traces by default
  • WordPress Multisite network support
  • Custom spans via the obseria.io PHP helper API
  • Automatic field-level redaction (passwords, card numbers)
  • WP-CLI commands for on-demand trace and metric flush
  • Works on shared hosting — no root access needed
  • Sampling rate configurable per environment
