Wp Core Tools

<p>Speedix profiles PHP execution on your WordPress site, showing exactly which hooks and plugins are slow. Unlike page speed tests that just show load time, Speedix shows you <em>why</em> your site is slow.</p>
<p>Built for developers, agencies, and site administrators who need to diagnose performance issues at the code level.</p>
<h4>What It Does</h4>
<p>Measures every WordPress hook with microsecond precision and traces slow callbacks back to their source plugins using PHP Reflection. You get a clear breakdown of where time is spent: Core vs Theme vs Plugins.</p>
<p>The dashboard shows a health score (0-100), highlights the slowest hooks, and tracks performance trends over time. WooCommerce sites get a dedicated tab with categories for Checkout, Cart, Products, Orders, and more.</p>
<h4>Safe for Production</h4>
<ul>
<li>Sample rate control (10-100% of requests)</li>
<li>Threshold filtering to only log slow hooks</li>
<li>Overload protection auto-pauses if overhead spikes</li>
<li>Auto-cleanup from 1 hour to 7 days retention</li>
</ul>
<p>Quick presets let you switch between Safe Mode (10% sampling), Balanced, or Detailed profiling with one click.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce Support</h4>
<p>Works with HPOS (Custom Order Tables) and Cart/Checkout Blocks. Tracks checkout complexity: payment gateways, shipping methods, coupons, and session size.</p>
<h4>Export Options</h4>
<p>CSV, JSON, and Markdown exports for reporting and analysis.</p>
<h4>Why Not a Page Speed Test?</h4>
<p>GTmetrix and PageSpeed measure frontend delivery. Speedix measures server-side PHP execution. They answer different questions. Use both.</p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>All data stays in your WordPress database. No external API calls, no tracking, no telemetry. GDPR compliant by design.</p>
<h4>100% Free</h4>
<p>Every feature is included. No pro version, no upsells.</p>

<p>MySQL Profiler displays debugging information about SQL queries to admin WordPress users.  For each query, the profiler displays the time, syntax-highlighted SQL, and a trace of the functions (as well as the file and line number that the functions were called from) that were called.</p>
<p>The list can be sorted by any of its columns, so you can, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Order the list by ID to see the chronological order of the queries</li>
<li>Order the list by time to see the slowest queries</li>
<li>Order the list by query to group the queries by type (SELECT, UPDATE, etc)</li>
<li>Order the list by trace to group the queries by similar origins</li>
</ul>
<p>The list can also filtered by typing in the search box, so you can, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>View all queries that use the wp_posts table</li>
<li>View all queries that are related to the use of a function in taxonomy.php</li>
<li>View all queries that are related to the use of a specific function or class</li>
<li>View all queries that call a specific MySQL function</li>
</ul>
<p>To turn off syntax highlighting, put the following in wp-config.php:</p>
<pre><code>define('MP_HIGHLIGHT_SYNTAX', false);
</code></pre>
<p>To omit the file and line number from the function trace and display the functions as a comma-separated list (to save vertical space), define the following in wp-config.php:</p>
<pre><code>define('MP_DISPLAY_FILES', false);
</code></pre>
<p>This plugin was loosely based on <a href="http://bueltge.de/" rel="nofollow ugc">Frank Bueltge</a>‘s <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-queries/" rel="ugc">Debug Queries</a> plugin, so a hearty thanks to him for the development of that.</p>
