Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Wonderful Fatal Circuit Breaker

E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, and E_COMPILE_ERROR — the errors that actually take a site down. Warnings, notices, and deprecations are ignored.

No. The threshold has a hard minimum of 2, and the default is 5 fatals within 10 minutes. A one-off hiccup never trips the breaker.

Nothing — they are never deactivated automatically. If a protected plugin keeps crashing, you receive a webhook notification (if configured) so you can act manually. This plugin itself is always protected.

Runtime fatals — the vast majority, e.g. a plugin crashing while rendering a page — are caught. Fatals that happen while WordPress is still loading the plugin files themselves (e.g. a syntax error in a plugin's main file) occur before this plugin can register its handler and cannot be counted.

The breaker only manages the per-site active plugins. Network-activated plugins are never touched.

No. The plugin only runs a very lightweight check at the very end of a PHP process, and only if a fatal error has occurred. It has no impact on the performance during normal site operation.
