Paul Bunyan Professional is a separate plugin that adds to the free Paul Bunyan. It needs the free plugin installed and active; everything the free plugin records, Professional can keep longer and act on. Its screens appear in their own Professional group in the side menu.
What it adds
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Longer history | 30 days or 13 months, adjustable, in place of 3 days of detail and 7 of summary. |
| "Got slower" | Request types whose typical time rose against the previous six days, flagged on Fix first (PB-2108). |
| Saved markers | Keep before-and-after markers for an ongoing investigation, in place of one at a time. |
| Alerts | Rules such as "checkout slower than 2 seconds, 3 times in 15 minutes", sent by email or webhook. |
| Order trails and Events | Everything done for one WooCommerce order, across checkout, payment callbacks, background jobs and emails sent later, read as one trail. Business events from paul_bunyan_event() read against speed. |
| Scheduled page checks | Chosen pages checked every 15 minutes to once a day. Failures and slow answers are flagged (PB-2901, PB-2902). |
| Broken links and images | Finds links to your own pages, and images and files from your media folder, that lead nowhere. It checks posts, pages, products, page-builder layouts, menus and widgets, and catches images deleted from the Media Library but still used as a resized copy. It suggests where each link should point, and Replace fixes it in the post and keeps a revision. Scans run weekly and whenever a page is saved, and visitors who hit a broken link are recorded too (PB-2601, PB-2602, PB-2603). |
| Give support access | A temporary sign-in link for support, with no password. It ends by itself after 1 to 14 days, can be ended at any time, and every sign-in is recorded. See Get support, and give support access safely. |
| Reports by email | A plain-language report, daily to monthly, with an AI summary if you use Ask AI. |
| Two sites | Compare a live site with its staging copy: setup, plugins and versions, the same request on both, cost per plugin and Web Vitals. |
| Requests running at once | The busiest moments, and the busiest minute for the processor. |
| Read-only access | Give chosen roles, such as a client, a view of the findings without the switch or settings. |
| Ask AI and Explain this | Ask the AI service you choose, with your own key, about the report, a finding or a request. See The AI report and AI assistants. |
| Support tickets | Private support tickets, answered within 1 business day. The free edition is supported on the WordPress.org forum. |
