Thank you for the feedback — you’re absolutely right, and we’ve improved this in the latest update.
Each profiler tab now has a “How to use” help tooltip (ℹ️) next to the Enable profiler switch. It walks through the workflow step by step:
- Turn on Enable profiler
- Open the page you want to measure (e.g. your homepage for frontend, or any admin screen for backend)
- Return to the profiler and click the reload button (↻) in the title bar
The hint is tailored per tab (Processes, Pages, Hooks, Translations), and the Queries tab has its own note since it works a bit differently.
We also renamed the toggle from “Profiler active” to “Enable profiler” so it reads as an action, not a status.
Hope that makes profiling easier — and thanks again for taking the time to review.
