Why disable a category
Most stores benefit from every category, but some do not need them all. If your site is not running WooCommerce yet, Store Integrity and Orders will report empty data. If you handle SEO entirely on a separate CDN front-end, the SEO checks may be noise.
Toggling a category
- Go to Mission Control → Settings.
- Tick or untick any of the six toggleable categories: Performance, Security, SEO, Environment, Store Integrity, Orders.
- Click Save.
- From the dashboard, re-run the health check to refresh the cards.
What stays on
The Database category cannot be disabled — its checks (orphaned rows, fragmentation, expired transients) underpin the maintenance tools and are always safe to run.
What gets saved
Settings are sanitised on save. Only valid category keys are accepted, so a malformed POST cannot silently rename or invent categories.
