## Description

WPLifeCycle gives WordPress admins a single dashboard to see **exactly** which PHP
version a site is running, how long it will stay in active/security support, and
what to fix before anything breaks.

**Key features**

 * _PHP version badge_ with active- and security-support countdowns
 * _Multi-site monitoring_ — push data to your free WPLifeCycle cloud account
 * _SEO audit_ – on-page checks and scoring (v 3.0+)
 * _OWASP-based security scan_ (v 3.0+)
 * _Login attempt limiting_ with configurable temporary IP lockouts
 * _Performance scan_ (v 3.0+)
 * _Secure Admin Link_ generator – creates a random, time-boxed /wp-admin URL (v
   3.0+)
 * _Hooks scanner & tester_ – lists add_action / add_filter calls, flags conflicts(
   v 3.1+)
 * _Plugins monitor_ – tracks version for every active plugin (v 3.1+)
 * _Admin user Log monitor_ – tracks all admin visits (v 3.2+)

Built for real-world workflows: minimal setup, async scans that respect server load,
and .po/.mo files for quick translation.

### Usage

 * Open **Tools  WPLifeCycle** to view PHP version details and run scans.
 * Click **Generate Secure Admin Link** to create a one-off login URL.
 * Grant data-sharing consent if you want this site monitored centrally.
