Shop Doctor

All-in-One PrestaShop Health Monitor & Emergency Recovery Toolkit

Keep your PrestaShop store running at peak performance, bulletproof your upgrades, and safeguard your business against unexpected crashes or unauthorized security changes. Shop Doctor gives merchants, managers, and developers total peace of mind.

Upgrading PrestaShop or installing custom modules can be risky. Server limitations, obsolete PHP settings, or modified core files can trigger the dreaded “White Screen of Death,” break checkout pages, or lock you out of the back office. Shop Doctor is your personal certified site technician, diagnosing issues before they cause downtime and providing emergency tools to restore access instantly.

Who Needs Shop Doctor?

Store Owners & Managers

Prevent costly downtime. Audit developer handovers to ensure code quality, track site changes, and stay notified of security exploits or configuration anomalies.

Agencies & Developers

Verify server specs before starting work. Pinpoint code overrides and custom edits instantly, and safely prepare client sites for PrestaShop 9 migrations.

Freelancers

Protect your liability. Save “before and after” scan reports to prove your updates didn’t break unrelated elements and provide client verification records.

1. Upgrade Readiness & Server Diagnostics

Is your site ready for PrestaShop 9 and subsequent versions? Shop Doctor runs a thorough audit of your hosting environment. It checks PHP versions, system limits, directory permissions, SSL setup, database configs, and Composer autoload status. You will know exactly what is safe, what needs attention, and what might break before applying incremental updates or major platform upgrades.

Our environment diagnostic scan covers all key performance factors:

• PHP Environment Audit: Verifies PHP version, memory limits, and maximum execution times.
• System Extensions: Scans for missing required extensions (e.g., zip, curl, gd, pdo_mysql).
• Directory Integrity: Checks directory write permissions for critical theme, module, and cache paths.
• Database Specs: Validates database versions and compatibility criteria.

2. Track Keeper – File Integrity Scanner

Easily detect malicious activity, backdoors, failed module files, or accidental edits. Track Keeper records a “trusted reference state” of your core store files. Future scans compare your current site configuration against this baseline, instantly highlighting any modified, added, or deleted files in an easy-to-read layout.

Protect your files with deep auditing:

• Baselines Scans: Save a clean, trusted reference state in seconds.
• Detect Injections: Catch malware, code injection, and hidden backdoors instantly.
• Audit Developer Changes: Know exactly which core files third-party modules or freelancers modified.
• Downtime Prevention: Spot corrupted files that cause unexpected back-office errors or layout breaks.

3. Emergency Recovery Toolkit

If a bad module, failed upgrade, or corrupted cache locks you out of the PrestaShop back office, don’t panic. Shop Doctor includes a standalone emergency recovery endpoint that acts as a secure external backup gateway. You can resolve issues directly through the recovery page even when the main store is offline.

Restore store stability with emergency recovery actions:

• Clear Cache: Wipe PrestaShop cache folders cleanly to eliminate file compilation errors.
• Disable Conflict Modules: Turn off problematic modules that are causing system crashes.
• Manage Core Overrides: Handle override files safely and temporarily bypass them to restore front-end stability.
• Upgrade Guard: Reduce the risk of crawlers and web requests repopulating cache folders while maintenance is actively in progress.

4. Scan History & Professional Reporting

Keep records of your site’s health over time. Compare historical diagnostic scans, export reports for developers, and prepare data packages easily.

Historical analysis features include:

• Historic Tracking: Monitor whether store configuration warnings are reducing or increasing over time.
• Multiple Export Options: Download reports in developer-friendly HTML or JSON formats.
• Support Package ZIP: Compile a secure package containing diagnostic details to share with theme or module creators for quicker debugging.

5. Automated Scans, Email Alerts & Data Security

Shop Doctor isn’t just an emergency tool; it is a full-time supervisor. Configure automated monitoring and protect private server keys before sharing logs.

Keep your system safe with monitoring features:

• Cron Integration: Run scheduled integrity and diagnostic checks weekly without manual work.
• Email Alerts: Stay updated with instant email warnings when file changes or environment issues are detected.
• Sensitive Data Masking: Automatically filters and masks sensitive parameters (API tokens, private directory paths, database passwords) to ensure reports are 100% safe to share with agencies or external developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Shop Doctor ready for PrestaShop 9?

Yes! Shop Doctor was specifically built to help store owners and agencies prepare for PrestaShop 9 and upcoming core version shifts. It scans your environment for future requirement checks to avoid unexpected site failures.

Q: What happens if I am completely locked out of the PrestaShop back office?

Shop Doctor includes a standalone emergency recovery endpoint. You can access it securely using credentials set up during module configuration to clear compiler cache, turn off crash-causing modules, or disable overrides without needing admin panel access.

Q: Will this module impact my site loading speed?

Not at all. Scans are run on-demand or automated in the background via Cron jobs. The core module operation uses optimized indexing structures to verify file integrity efficiently without affecting front-end customer performance.

Q: Is it safe to share reports with external developers?

Yes. Shop Doctor features built-in sensitive data masking that hides secret keys, database credentials, and system directory routes in all exported files (HTML, JSON, ZIP package).
