The Tools section in your WordPress dashboard holds a handful of built-in utilities that don’t quite fit anywhere else — things like importing content, exporting your site’s data, or running a basic site health check.
What You’ll Find There
- Import — bring in content from another WordPress site or a different platform.
- Export — download your posts and pages as a portable file.
- Site Health — a quick diagnostic check for common performance and security issues.
- Export Personal Data — useful for handling privacy requests under regulations like GDPR.
Worth Checking Occasionally
The Site Health tool in particular is worth a quick look every so often, since it flags things like outdated PHP versions or missing recommended settings — small issues that are easy to overlook but simple to fix once you know about them.
