The primary goal of PW_Archives is to be light-weight and efficient. I’ve tried almost all of the popular archiving plugins out there, and so many of them make hundreds or even thousands of queries depending on the number of posts you have on your site. PW_Archives makes only one query to get your posts. That’s it. Not only that but it doesn’t do endless amounts of looping and counting to determine post and comment counts. That’s all included in the one query it does, and it’s very efficient.
The second main goal of PW_Archives is customization. Almost everything is customizable. Select what post types to include, choose whether you want the javascript to fade in or slide down (or no javascript at all). You can even select the date format and add custom markup. If you don’t know HTML, don’t worry; the defaults will work for most people.

This is a WordPress plugin that adds advanced load timing to each page. Know exactly what is causing slow (or fast) page loading on every page. It’s like doing a lightweight and fast speed test on every page! It does not require any settings and is displayed at the bottom-left of the page. The overall load time is shown initially, and when clicked, the advanced load times appear.
The processes being timed are: 
Redirection (and quantity) 
App Cache 
DNS Lookup 
TCP Connection 
Server Request 
Server Response 
DOM Processing 
Page Load
This timing only display to site admins, and can also be triggered by adding “?debug” at the end of the URL. Considerably slow or fast times are dictated with coloring.
