Beschreibung

This plugin will record the performance of your wp Hosting company.

Ever noticed your site seems to perform OK when you check, but other folk say its slow later. Like gremlins are getting in and making it slower ?

It’s often difficult to know how your wp web site is performing, and how real end users are experiencing the performance of your wp web site.

This plugin will display graphs of the performance of the server (so you’ll be able to see what the gremlins are doing).

It also tracks performance of the web page load speed, which includes all the assets jpg/png/css/js.

You’ll be able to view graphs for different periods of time, to see how your server is performing, and how real world users are observing the performance of your wp site.

You’ll be able to observe when the server is sluggish, or when it is fast.

It is designed to run async, so any performance hit is after the end user’s web page has finished loading. This should result in no impact to your WordPress website delivering pages.

It also has a feature to email you when the server response becomes unacceptably slow.

New Features
– ability to load test your WordPress website – see how many visitors you can comfortably accommodate.
– ability to benchmark your current hosting against other hosting companies
– technology index – to give you an idea of how good/poor the technology your WordPress site is running on
– artificial benchmark of php and mysql (on the sysinfo page for now).
– php and technology index on the hosting comparison pages.
– bot analysis – how much resources are bot consuming ?

Screenshots

a few of the graphs. This shows a tally (or distribution) of the main 2 timings that are tracked. The first graph shows end users real world web browser load speed. This is a combination of the server, and how the page is designed. The second gaphs shows the pure response time of the hosting server
this screen shot is giving you a quick indication of how well your wp hosting server performance is doing. Green zone is good, you don't want it being in the red zone.

will it slow my site down ?

No.
We do an ajax request asyncronously. So after the page loads, it sends a short request.

will it make my database slow ?

we’ve taken reasonable steps to not slow the database.
we have no indexes on the table, so inserts are fast.
we prune the table to only keep the last 30 days.

does it log admin users ?

no , we ignore all logged in users.

does this use some sort of web whacking to test the site performance ?

no, it records the real hits from real users and web crawlers.

it says there is no data to display

this plugin logs realtime users, and excludes logged in users. So log out of WordPress, and surf your site a little.

Does it work with caching ?

It works reasonably with full page caching.
You’ll need to clear your cache after installing the plugin.
You can cache bust to test yourself, just add ?r3we4 to the end of your page name, just some random junk after the question mark – will make it so the cache doesn’t work.

It's useful tool. Thanks

Very useful plugin. It displays all the information you need to understand your server's average response time and page load speed. You can see a 30 or day report plus much more information. I give it 5 stars.

It works. As promised. Other services like New Relic will charge you hundreds of dollars for the same monthly.

Found this plugin on a video by Darrel Wilson's youtube channel. I loaded it and find it really useful.

Alongside other server stats and tools such as Pingdom and GTMetrix etc this plugin offers an excellent insight into another side of the performance of a site. I really like the detailed report layout and how you can change the focus on each column.Thanks Mr Developer.

I've been testing out a new site on both shared and VPS hosting prior to launching it and was looking to load test the site on both types of hosting. Scott's plugin applies load across the site which gives a realistic idea of how well the server will hold up depending on the number of visitors. Scott has been extremely helpful not only in making improvements to the plugin based on my usage and feedback but also in advising some tweaks to improve my server responsiveness. Thanks!!
