Overview
wp profile
monitors key performance indicators of the WordPress execution process to help you quickly identify points of slowness.
Save hours diagnosing slow WordPress sites. Because you can easily run it on any server that supports WP-CLI, wp profile
compliments Xdebug and New Relic by pointing you in the right direction for further debugging. Because it runs on the command line, using wp profile
means you don't have to install a plugin and deal with the painful dashboard of a slow WordPress site. And, because it's a WP-CLI command, wp profile
makes it easy to perform hard tasks (e.g. profiling a WP REST API response).
Identify why WordPress is slow in just a few steps with wp profile
.
Using
This package implements the following commands:
wp profile stage
Profile each stage of the WordPress load process (bootstrap, main_query, template).
wp profile stage [<stage>] [--all] [--spotlight] [--url=<url>] [--fields=<fields>] [--format=<format>] [--order=<order>] [--orderby=<fields>]
When WordPress handles a request from a browser, it’s essentially
executing as one long PHP script. wp profile stage
breaks the script
into three stages:
- bootstrap is where WordPress is setting itself up, loading plugins
and the main theme, and firing the
init
hook. - main_query is how WordPress transforms the request (e.g.
/2016/10/21/moms-birthday/
) into the primary WP_Query. - template is where WordPress determines which theme template to render based on the main query, and renders it.
OPTIONS
[<stage>]
Drill down into a specific stage.
[--all]
Expand upon all stages.
[--spotlight]
Filter out logs with zero-ish values from the set.
[--url=<url>]
Execute a request against a specified URL. Defaults to the home URL.
[--fields=<fields>]
Limit the output to specific fields. Default is all fields.
[--format=<format>]
Render output in a particular format.
---
default: table
options:
- table
- json
- yaml
- csv
---
[--order=<order>]
Ascending or Descending order.
---
default: ASC
options:
- ASC
- DESC
---
[--orderby=<fields>]
Set orderby which field.
EXAMPLES
# See an overview for each stage of the load process.
$ wp profile stage --fields=stage,time,cache_ratio
+------------+---------+-------------+
| stage | time | cache_ratio |
+------------+---------+-------------+
| bootstrap | 0.7994s | 93.21% |
| main_query | 0.0123s | 94.29% |
| template | 0.792s | 91.23% |

wp profile hook [<hook>] [--all] [--spotlight] [--url=<url>] [--fields=<fields>] [--format=<format>] [--order=<order>] [--orderby=<fields>]
In order to profile callbacks on a specific hook, the action or filter will need to execute during the course of the request.
OPTIONS
[<hook>]
Drill into key metrics of callbacks on a specific WordPress hook.
[--all]
Profile callbacks for all WordPress hooks.
[--spotlight]
Filter out logs with zero-ish values from the set.
[--url=<url>]
Execute a request against a specified URL. Defaults to the home URL.
[--fields=<fields>]
Display one or more fields.
[--format=<format>]
Render output in a particular format.

---
[--order=<order>]
Ascending or Descending order.

wp profile eval <php-code> [--hook[=<hook>]] [--fields=<fields>] [--format=<format>] [--order=<order>] [--orderby=<fields>]
Code execution happens after WordPress has loaded entirely, which means you can use any utilities defined in WordPress, active plugins, or the current theme.

[--hook[=<hook>]]
Focus on key metrics for all hooks, or callbacks on a specific hook.
