## Description

**Siteversary** is a lightweight, zero-configuration plugin that shows when your
WordPress site was born (created).

Instead of relying on a single (often unreliable) data point, Siteversary checks
multiple signals – the oldest user registration, the oldest post (including the 
original « Hello world! »), and the oldest comment – and uses the earliest one as
your site’s birthdate. The widget tells you which signal was used, so you always
know where the date came from.

Perfect for:

 * Web developers managing multiple WordPress installations
 * Freelancers maintaining client sites
 * Website owners curious about their site’s origins
 * Celebrating site anniversaries

**Features:**

 * Dashboard widget showing the site birthdate in your own date/time format
 * Site age displayed in years, months and days
 * Countdown to the next site anniversary (with a little celebration on the day 
   itself)
 * Multi-signal detection for reliable results even after migrations
 * Result is cached, so the widget adds no measurable load
 * Visible to administrators only
 * No settings, no tracking, no bloat – a single small file

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or install via
    the WordPress admin panel.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. View the Siteversary widget on your **Dashboard**.

## FAQ

### How does it detect the install date?

It compares three signals stored by WordPress itself: the oldest user registration
date, the oldest post date, and the oldest comment date. The earliest of these is
used as the site’s birthdate. This multi-signal approach survives cases where a 
single signal is misleading (e.g. the original admin user was deleted, or content
was imported).

### The detected date looks wrong. Why?

If your site was migrated or content was imported from another site, the oldest 
record may predate (or postdate) the actual installation. The widget shows which
signal was used, so you can judge its accuracy. The detection result is cached for
a week; deactivating and reactivating the plugin re-runs it immediately.

### Can I customize the date format?

Yes – it automatically uses your site’s date and time format settings under **Settings
> General**.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. It runs only on the dashboard, for administrators, and the detection result 
is cached. It has zero effect on frontend performance.
