The Developer and Performance groups hold tools for site admins that inspect how WooCommerce and WordPress work inside. Some of them can make changes you can’t undo.

Admins only

Both groups are visible to site admins only, marked Admins only on the Powerups list. Store managers never see them, and their links answer “not allowed”. The System card’s “Power-ups on X of Y” counts only the power-ups you can see. They switch on and off like any other power-up. There’s no separate switch for the whole group.
An amber warning shows under each group heading and at the top of every tool page: “These tools can make permanent changes that can’t be undone. Take a backup first. SmartWP Plugins isn’t responsible for lost data or downtime.”

Risk badges and confirmations

Each action carries a badge that tells you how it’s confirmed: The word depends on the action: “delete”, “cancel”, “purge”, “run” or “retry”, and “generate” for Test data on a production site. Database clean-up also asks for a second click on Safe cleans, since they delete rows. The second click on a Review action is there to catch slips. The server treats Review changes like Safe ones, so anyone who can use the tool can make them. For Advanced changes, the server checks both the access level and the typed word. The typed word works in any letter case, and in your site’s language. The same typed confirmation protects the biggest deletes in every power-up’s Data section.

Who can do Advanced actions

Site admins. On multisite, only a network (super) admin: site admins can use Safe and Review actions but not Advanced ones.

Masked values

These tools show data that plugins stored: order meta, job and cron arguments, option values. Values under sensitive names (tokens, passwords, secrets, keys) are masked. The patterns come from the Order meta inspector’s Sensitive fields to mask setting.

Nothing to set up

Most of these tools have no settings. Their Settings tab says “Nothing to set up” and points to the tool tab, for example “Use the Webhooks tab.”
