Basic profiler for WordPress Plugins. Benchmarks any given plugin by testing response times with and without the plugin activated.

Plugin Profiler is hosted on the WordPress.org plugin repository so you can install it from there like any other plugin. Here's a guide on how to install Plugin Profiler for your WordPress site.

If you want to run the latest development version, you have two options:

• You can download the repository .zip file: plugin-profiler.zip
• You can clone the GitHub repository using Git:

git clone git@github.com:dannyvankooten/wp-plugin-profiler.git plugin-profiler

This will download the latest development version of the WordPress Plugin Profiler plugin.

Since this plugin needs to have control over the plugins which are loaded, it needs to be in your mu-plugins folder. An easy way to do so is by installing the plugin in your plugins folder and then placing the following file in /wp-content/mu-plugins/plugin-profiler.php.

// load the plugin profiler plugin early, please ensure you're using the correct plugin directory name here
require_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/plugin-profiler/plugin-profiler.php';

To run a profile on any given plugin, visit Tools > Plugin Profiler in your WordPress admin area and select the plugin to profile.

Here's a rundown of the configuration settings.
