Use The Tool
What this tool helps you check
Output
Review REST status, content type, and whether the response looks like a WordPress REST index.
How To Read It
A reachable public REST index can be expected. Authenticated route failures still require plugin, user, nonce, and permission review.
Follow-Up
Use this result with browser console errors, plugin logs, and authenticated API responses when debugging integrations.
This tool uses bounded public HTTP checks and does not inspect private admin pages, databases, server files, or dashboards.
Limitations
Use the result as planning guidance
- Checks the public `/wp-json/` endpoint only.
- Does not authenticate or test private routes.
- Does not enumerate sensitive data.
