Your site is slow, or something keeps throwing errors, and you need to know which plugin, which file and which line is responsible. Paul Bunyan watches every request on your own server and tells you, in plain words, what to fix first.
No server extension, no outside service, no code changes. It runs wherever WordPress runs, including shared hosting.
What it finds
- Which plugin is slowing down your site. Time and memory per plugin and theme, split into front end, dashboard, AJAX and background requests.
- Slow pages and a slow dashboard. Every request timed, with processor time and memory, the numbers a hosting CPU limit counts.
- Slow database queries , grouped by shape and ranked by total time, with the plugin, file and line that ran them.
- Slow outside calls : license checks, APIs and webhooks that hold a page up.
- PHP errors, warnings and deprecation notices , grouped so a notice repeated thousands of times shows as one line with a count.
- Email : how long each message took to build and to send.
- Background jobs : WP-Cron and Action Scheduler jobs that are waiting, late or failing.
- Real page loads in visitors’ browsers , with Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS).
- Site setup checks : autoloaded options, object cache, OPcache, transients, scheduled jobs, debug settings and page cache.
Fix first, in plain words
One ranked list of what costs your site the most: what it is, where it is, how often it happens, how much time it takes and what to do about it. Every finding carries a numbered PB code with a full explanation on diamondsierra.com.
Built to stay on
- Small footprint: about 10 to 20 ms per request in our tests on a WooCommerce store (median of 20 loads per page, logged in).
- A safety switch turns recording off by itself if it ever costs visitors too much.
- Switch it on for an hour, for your browser only, or off, from the admin bar.
