Trace a WordPress workflow in PHP

To inspect a checkout, contact form, or AJAX action, profile the request with its custom URL and the GET or POST method it uses. You can supply a POST payload, cookies, and HTTP headers as needed. Code Profiler Pro measures server-side PHP activity, with charts and tables that show plugin and theme performance and help trace slow work to scripts, classes, methods, or functions.

Inspect code, queries, and I/O

Pro profiles PHP scripts, methods, and functions, reports database query performance, and monitors remote connections. Results also include file I/O operations and statistics, plus disk I/O usage. Filtering options help narrow the displayed results to relevant activity.

• Export charts as PNG pictures.
• Export tables and charts in CSV format with Pro.
• Use WP-CLI to work with the profiler.

Run a profile and compare changes

Install and activate the plugin, then open the Code Profiler menu and select the WordPress area or workflow to examine. You can profile the frontend, backend, cron events, or a custom URL. After a plugin or theme update, run another profile and compare it with earlier findings. The product information says Code Profiler can stay active between profiling sessions without affecting website performance.

Requirements and access

Requirements are WordPress 5.0 or later and PHP 7.1 or 8.x. Code Profiler supports multisite; only the superadmin can run it for security reasons. It does not collect private data from you or your visitors and does not use cookies.
