Details
This plugin provides a simple way for anyone to audit a Movable Type template to see why it might be slower than it needs to be.
It does so by profiling the evaluation of individual template tags encountered during the course of a single-template build (i.e. either an index template or a single archive file). That makes it easy to narrow down exactly where the culprit is.
- Support for Movable Type 4.x with version 0.3
Profile Report
The performance statistics compiled for the final report include both aggregate totals and single-instance averages. This enables you to identify both horribly inefficient tags as well as those which are evaluated far too frequently (indicating that caching might be helpful).
The data contained in the report includes:
- Name of the template tag
- Number of times the tag was encountered
- Aggregate processing time for the tag
- Average processing time for a single evaluation of the tag
- Number of database queries generated for the tag
- Number of cache hits and misses for those queries
The report also provides nice javascript-based sorting capabilities to make it easier to determine the outliers within given template.
Known Issues
- Works only with Index Templates right now.
