What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses slow WordPress website performance by providing a structured approach to diagnosing and resolving backend bottlenecks, ensuring faster load times and a better user experience.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Backend Profiling: Utilizes WP-CLI tools (
profile, doctor) to pinpoint performance issues without needing a browser.
- Diagnostic Tools: Integrates with Query Monitor (headless) and Server-Timing headers for comprehensive analysis.
- Bottleneck Resolution: Offers specific guidance for optimizing database queries, autoloaded options, object caching, cron jobs, and HTTP API calls.
- Use Case: A WordPress site's admin area is sluggish. This Skill can be used to run
wp doctor and wp profile stage to identify if slow database queries or excessive autoloaded options are the cause, and then provide targeted solutions.
Quick Start
Use the wp-performance skill to investigate slow admin page load times by running wp doctor check and wp profile stage within the WordPress installation.
