NaveenCodes Speed Analyzer

Description

💛 This plugin is dedicated to my mother. Every update carries her blessings.

NaveenCodes Speed Analyzer helps you understand where WordPress is spending time on your site. It runs entirely inside your hosting environment — no external service, no cloud dashboard, no account required.

The plugin is designed to remain fully free:

  • No locked features
  • No artificial limits
  • No ads
  • No tracking
  • No upsells

Page Load Logger

Records how long each wp-admin page takes to generate, how much memory it uses, and how many database queries it runs. Entries are stored locally and displayed in a sortable log so you can identify which pages are consistently slow.

Autoload Options Audit

WordPress loads all autoloaded options on every single page request. Large autoloaded data adds overhead to every page — even if the visitor is just reading a post. The Autoload Audit shows your total autoloaded payload size and the top options by size. You can remove individual orphaned options or clear all expired transients with one click.

Cron Jobs Viewer

Shows every scheduled WP-Cron event with its hook name, schedule frequency, next run time, and whether the job is overdue. Overdue jobs may indicate that WP-Cron is not firing correctly or that a job is stuck. You can delete individual stuck cron jobs directly from the viewer.

Dashboard Summary

Seven-day averages for page generation time, peak memory, and database queries per page. The Slowest Pages table shows which URLs are consistently the most expensive.

Settings

Control how long log data is kept (7, 14, 30, or 90 days), set your own threshold for what counts as a slow page, and enable or disable logging at any time.

No External Service

All data is stored in a single table on your own server. Nothing is sent to any external service, analytics platform, or third-party host.

Screenshots

Installation

  1. Upload the naveencodes-speed-analyzer folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Open Speed Analyzer Dashboard from the wp-admin sidebar.
  4. Browse some wp-admin pages normally — the plugin logs each request in the background.
  5. Return to the Dashboard to see your first performance summary.

FAQ

Does the plugin slow down my site?

The logging overhead is minimal — one small database insert per admin page load. Frontend pages are not logged in version 1.0.0, so visitors are not affected at all.

What database table does it create?

One table: {prefix}ncsa_page_log. This table is removed cleanly when the plugin is uninstalled through the WordPress Plugins screen.

Does it require WP-Cron to be enabled?

WP-Cron is used for daily cleanup of old log entries. If WP-Cron is disabled on your server, old entries will accumulate until you clear the log manually from the Settings page.

Does it conflict with caching plugins?

When a full-page cache serves a cached response, WordPress does not execute, so there is nothing for Speed Analyzer to log. That is expected and correct — a cached page is fast by design.

What does the Autoload Audit measure?

It measures the total size of all WordPress options stored with autoload = yes in the options table. WordPress loads all of these on every request. If the total is several hundred kilobytes or more, it may be worth reviewing which plugins are autoloading large amounts of data.

Is it multisite compatible?

Yes. Each site in a multisite network gets its own log table using the standard WordPress table prefix.
