Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a novice WordPress user, this plugin provides essential functionalities to manage debugging, diagnose issues, and facilitate smoother development workflows.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Debugging Made Easy: Enable WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY modes directly from the WordPress admin panel without the need to manually edit the wp-config.php file. Effortlessly toggle these settings to facilitate efficient debugging and error tracking.</li>
<li>Create Support User in One Click: Create a support user with a single click to provide temporary access to your WordPress environment. This feature simplifies the process of sharing debugging information with developers or support teams, enabling them to diagnose and resolve issues more effectively. You can control after how many days the user will be auto-deleted. After creating a user, you can quickly copy the credentials to the clipboard, or share them via email (optionally adding a message).</li>
<li>Plugin Conflict Resolution: Simplify the process of identifying and resolving plugin conflicts. Quickly compare the performance of active and inactive plugins, and temporarily disable or enable plugins to isolate issues without disrupting your entire plugin ecosystem.</li>
<li>SMTP Testing with MailHog: Seamlessly integrate MailHog for SMTP testing purposes. Verify the functionality of email delivery within your WordPress environment, ensuring reliable communication with users and clients.</li>
<li>Download Plugins: Download plugins directly from the WordPress admin panel’s plugin view. Streamline your workflow by easily obtaining plugin files for offline storage, manual installation, or testing in other environments and sandboxes. This feature facilitates seamless testing of plugins in various environments, allowing for thorough evaluation and development iterations.</li>
<li>Reset: Effortlessly undo any changes made by the plugin to restore your WordPress environment to its original state. This feature deletes all plugin settings and data from the database, resets debug constants to their pre-activation states, deletes the debug.log file (if it didn’t exist before activation), and activates any temporarily deactivated plugins.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who Can Benefit</h4>
<ul>
<li>Power Developers: Streamline your development workflow with a comprehensive toolkit tailored for debugging and issue resolution. Enhance productivity and efficiency while tackling complex WordPress projects.</li>
<li>Novice Users: Empower yourself to diagnose and troubleshoot WordPress issues with ease. Quickly share debugging information with developers or support teams to expedite issue resolution and enhance your WordPress experience.</li>
</ul>

Development Assistant


It basically does what any coder would know how to do manually. But, it leaves code, when deleted, that causes errors. I'll now have to wade through my installation to find what it screwed up.


Horribly buggy!

Toolkit for debugging and customer support.

CPU performance testing: 
This plugin does various calculations and string manipulations on your PHP webserver 
and your MySQL database server. To further test the MySQL server, a sequence of MySQL 
inserts, selects, updates and deletes are performed in a separate custom database table 
(we do not use your WordPress tables for this).
Network testing: 
The network is tested by fetching directly from Google’s CDN / apis network. Fetching from the Google 
apis network gives you the nearest server, and will give more accurate results. We also fetch a small 1Mb 
file from our servers as well in case the Google apis is down. The network tests are not yet shown in the 
graphs, we are working on this 🙂
Results: 
After the sequence of tests has finished, the results will be displayed for you to evaluate. MySQL results can 
vary depending on the type of connection your webserver has to the MySQL server. If a “local socket” connection 
is used a typical result for the MySQL query test is 0.05-0.25 seconds. Web hosting providers with dedicated MySQL 
servers will show a slower time/queries per second, as a TCP/IP connection to the MySQL server is made instead of 
a local socket connection.
There are many factors that will determine how fast your website will run. This plugin does not test 
for how many hits/requests per second your provider allows to your website, file system performance is not tested 
either. Use it as a performance test to assess how fast a CPU your provider has allocated to your webserver 
and your MySQL database backend.
Share with your friends, let’s start a competition and see who’s got the fastests servers (hint) 🙂

PHP/MySQL CPU performance statistics

Benchmarks PHP and MySQL and does various performance analysis on these. Especially MySQL analysis is good.

In general benchmarks are short, but quite informative.

Works well and does various important tests

I had to measure the performance of my two local machines (a laptop and a desktop). This plugin came in handy to do exactly that. I only wish that there was a way to export the results for future ref!

Handy

With the performance test plugin you can test the CPU and MySQL speed on your webserver and your MySQL server.
