Client Translation
A client-friendly report does not hide technical truth. It turns Site Health evidence into plain-language risk: recovery risk, update risk, security exposure, performance concern, delivery issue, or owner decision.

Symptom
Site Health can surface useful technical findings, but clients often need business impact, owner decisions, and safe next actions rather than raw warnings or server details.
For: WordPress agencies, freelancers, care-plan teams, and technical account managers preparing maintenance summaries for clients.
Diagnosis
What to check before changing the site
Evidence Without Exposure
Site Health can show useful technical details about WordPress, plugins, themes, server, database, media handling, and permissions. Keep enough evidence to support the recommendation, but leave secrets, customer data, raw paths, and logs out of the client version.
Action Format
Each finding should answer five questions: what was found, why it matters, who owns it, what should happen next, and whether approval or access is required.
Repeatable Reporting
A maintenance report becomes more valuable over time when the categories and severity labels stay consistent. The next report should show what improved, what stayed open, and what new risk appeared.

Diagnosis
Symptoms, causes, checks, and fixes
Symptoms
- A client sees Site Health warnings and asks whether the site is broken, unsafe, or about to go down.
- The agency report copies raw technical output without explaining severity, ownership, or next action.
- Sensitive paths, plugin lists, debug details, or server information appear in a client-facing report without review.
Most Common Causes
- WordPress Site Health includes status checks and an Info screen with detailed configuration data.
- Technical warnings may be important, but clients need plain-language impact and a decision path.
- Raw exported diagnostics can include details that are useful for support but too noisy or sensitive for a client summary.
How To Confirm The Cause
- Open Site Health and separate critical issues, recommended improvements, passed tests, and Info-screen evidence.
- Identify which findings affect security, performance, recovery, updates, search visibility, forms, email, checkout, or client operations.
- Remove secrets, private paths, raw logs, customer data, and overly detailed configuration from the client-facing copy.
Fixes
- Translate each finding into impact, evidence, owner, urgency, recommended action, and approval needed.
- Keep the technical appendix separate from the executive summary.
- Use consistent severity labels so future reports can be compared instead of rewritten from scratch.
How To Verify The Fix
- Ask whether a non-technical client can understand what changed, what matters, and what requires approval.
- Confirm the report preserves enough evidence for support follow-up without exposing unsafe details.
- Store the report as the baseline for the next maintenance review.
When To Contact Support
Escalate when findings involve exposed debug data, broken background updates, server restrictions, missing backups, payment workflows, security incidents, or client approval outside the care-plan scope.
