What Does the Smart Engine Do?

Below are the core responsibilities of the SiteSkite Smart Engine:

1. Smart Update Handling

The Smart Engine intelligently controls how updates are executed across your sites.

It ensures:

• Updates run safely and sequentially

• Avoids conflicts that can occur when updating multiple plugins/themes

• Pauses updates if your site returns an error signal

• Alerts you if an update seems unsafe

• Ensures rollback points exist before making changes

2. Smart Monitoring Decisions

Smart Engine supports SiteSkite Monitor by:

• Detecting false positives

• Rechecking downtime before sending alerts

• Reducing unnecessary notifications

• Prioritizing incidents that require attention

This results in more accurate uptime monitoring for your sites.

3. Smart Resource Handling (Low-Resource Hosting)

WordPress hosting with:

• 30s max execution time

• 128–256 MB RAM

• Slow I/O

…can often cause tasks to fail.

Smart Engine automatically adapts tasks so they don't break, by:

• Running tasks in optimized chunks

• Retrying lightweight operations

• Reducing task size dynamically

• Selecting alternative REST endpoints when needed

4. Smart Plugin/Theme Scanning

When scanning or listing plugins/themes, Smart Engine:

• Avoids loading heavy WP modules

This helps maintain speed and reliability even on busy servers.
