Dashboard: Available Disk Space

বৰ্ণনা

Dashboard: Available Disk Space extends the built-in At a Glance widget on your WordPress Dashboard with a compact “Available Storage Space” row.

When you open Dashboard Home, you’ll immediately see:

  • How much disk space is used and free
  • A clear progress bar that fills up as your server disk gets full
  • A quick visual indication when you’re running low on storage

This is useful if:

  • You’re on shared hosting and want to avoid “out of disk space” surprises
  • You manage multiple client sites and need a quick disk space check right after login
  • You want a lightweight alternative to full server monitoring or security suites

The plugin is intentionally small and dependency-free:

  • No extra admin menus
  • No tracking or data collection
  • Just one clean line in At a Glance with a visual bar and readable numbers

How is disk space calculated?

The plugin uses PHP’s built-in disk_total_space() and disk_free_space() functions on the WordPress root path. This shows disk usage for the partition that hosts your WordPress installation.

Will this work on any hosting provider?

It should work on most Linux-based shared hosting and VPS servers that allow PHP to read disk information. If disk_free_space() is disabled on your server, the widget will show a warning instead of breaking your dashboard.

Does this slow down my Dashboard?

No. The widget performs a single disk check when the Dashboard loads. There are no scheduled tasks or background processes.

Is this multisite compatible?

Yes. Network-activate the plugin and the disk space widget will be available on the Network Admin Dashboard.

Can I move it outside of At a Glance?

Not at the moment. The plugin is designed to keep things simple by integrating directly into the existing At a Glance widget instead of adding new Dashboard widgets.

I’ve been using this plugin to keep an eye on my server’s storage directly from the WordPress Dashboard, and it does exactly what it promises. The indicator is clear, lightweight, and doesn’t clutter the interface. It’s especially handy on smaller hosting plans or shared servers where disk space can become an issue without you noticing. Instead of logging into the hosting panel, I can quickly check the available disk space as soon as I log into WordPress. I’d love to see future updates and maybe a few more options for customization, but even as it is now, it’s a very practical little tool that just works.
