What It Is

mySites.guru is a multi-site management platform for WordPress and Joomla, positioned to help agencies manage large numbers of client websites from a single dashboard. Its long-standing selling point is Joomla health checks, which it has offered since 2012; it has now expanded into WordPress as well, covering day-to-day maintenance tasks such as site audits, monitoring, security, backups, and bulk operations.

Core Features and Collaboration

Based on the main copy, the product’s core modules are fairly comprehensive: it can connect unlimited WordPress/Joomla sites, run unlimited security audits, detect and remove malware, provide one-click admin login, uptime monitoring, scheduled backups, twice-daily site snapshots, bulk update tools, and a bulk extension installer. For agencies, white-label client reports and unlimited team members are particularly useful for presenting maintenance results to clients. However, the text does not explain whether it supports more granular team governance features such as role permissions, approval workflows, or operation audit logs.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is very straightforward: unlimited sites for £19.99/month, roughly $25; a single-site plan for £5/month; and annual billing at £199.99/year, advertised as saving 17%. The page emphasizes no per-site fees, no hidden costs, cancel anytime, and no minimum commitment. It also offers a free audit for the first site without requiring a credit card. If you genuinely manage dozens of sites or more, the value is clear; if you only maintain a small number of sites, it is worth comparing the single-site plan with other free or self-hosted tools.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is that it covers both the WordPress and Joomla ecosystems, which is especially valuable for Joomla-focused agencies where options are relatively scarce. Its feature chain spans audits, backups, monitoring, security remediation, and bulk updates, while unlimited sites and unlimited members help reduce costs at scale. The downside is that the main text does not disclose details about APIs, developer support, third-party integrations, payment methods, compliance certifications, data storage regions, or encryption policies. Teams with strict enterprise compliance requirements will need to conduct further due diligence.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to web agencies, managed maintenance teams, freelance developers, and service providers that need to manage large numbers of WordPress/Joomla client sites. The main text does not state how well it works from mainland China in terms of access, network stability, or payment availability, so it is advisable to first use the free audit to test connection speed, plugin compatibility, and the payment process. Alternatives to consider include ManageWP, MainWP, InfiniteWP, and WP Remote; for Joomla maintenance scenarios, it can also be compared with combined solutions such as Watchful and Akeeba Backup.
