I'm not technical. Will this work for me?

Yes! If you can chat with ChatGPT, you can use Respira. No coding knowledge required.

Which AI tool should I use?

Any! ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, or others. They all work with Respira.

How do I safely use Cursor with WordPress?

Respira creates a safety layer between Cursor and your WordPress site. It uses a duplicate-first workflow - Cursor edits duplicate pages, not your originals. You review and approve changes before they go live. This is the best way to let AI edit live WordPress site safely.

What if AI breaks my site?

It can't. AI only updates duplicate pages. Your live site is never touched until you review and approve the changes. This safety layer ensures you don't break existing pages.

Which WordPress page builders are supported?

Gutenberg, Divi, Elementor, WPBakery, Oxygen, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Brizy, Visual Composer, and Thrive Architect. Each builder has its own Intelligence package for full AI understanding.

Does Respira require SSH access?

No! Respira works with any WordPress hosting, even shared hosts. No SSH, no server access needed. Just install the plugin and connect your AI.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the language AI uses to talk to WordPress. You don't need to understand it - Respira handles it automatically. It's like a translator between your AI and WordPress.

Respira vs official WordPress MCP?

Official MCP is basic and read-only. Respira adds safety (duplicates first), security checks, page builder support, audit logs, and works on any hosting - even shared hosts without SSH access. Unlike WordPress MCP, Respira enables safe WRITE operations through duplicate-first workflow and page builder intelligence.

How many sites can I use Respira on?

Starter plan: 1 WordPress site. Agency plan: up to 20 WordPress sites. All plans are 1-year licenses with full updates and support included.

Can I try before paying?

Yes! Start with a 7-day free trial. No credit card required. If you like it, pay for 1 year of updates and support.

Critical Debt — prioritized cleanup ready

The Problem

Technical debt is invisible
until it isn't

Every installed-and-forgotten plugin is an attack surface. Every orphaned shortcode is a broken layout waiting to be noticed. Every revision stored forever is database bloat making queries slower.

It builds up over years — silently. Technical Debt Audit reads directly from your WordPress data to give you the complete picture, then shows you how to clean it up safely.

23 orphaned shortcodes breaking layout across 8 pages

14 plugins installed "just to test" — never activated, never removed

Elementor and Divi both installed, only one ever used

2.1GB of database bloat from 8 years of unlimited revisions

800+ images in the media library, only 200 referenced anywhere

Deactivated security plugin still sitting there with known CVEs

What gets audited

Eight categories of technical debt, each with a safe cleanup workflow.
