MainWP Regression Testing Extension
Easily spot changes in your child site’s source code to ensure updates don’t introduce unexpected changes.

Smarter Monitoring for Your WordPress Clients
Detect Unexpected Changes with Code-Level Accuracy
Managing multiple WordPress sites means keeping a close eye on every update, ensuring nothing breaks or changes unexpectedly. While traditional visual regression tools rely on pixel comparisons, they often miss the real issues – structural changes, hidden code modifications, or broken functionality
MainWP Regression Testing Extension takes a more advanced approach. Instead of just comparing images, it analyzes the complete rendered HTML output of your websites. This means you get detailed insights into what truly changed, whether it’s a missing meta tag, altered JavaScript, or a crucial content shift. Stay ahead of issues, minimize troubleshooting time, and maintain site integrity – all within your MainWP Dashboard.

FAQ for MainWP Regression Testing

What kind of changes does the extension detect?
It monitors HTML structure, text content, meta tags, inline styles, and JavaScript changes ensuring updates don’t break functionality, SEO, or site appearance.
Can I control when regression tests run?
Yes! You can run tests automatically after updates, schedule them at regular intervals, or trigger a manual test anytime from your MainWP Dashboard.
Will this slow down my websites?
