 * Hey guys,
 * i’m trying to find problems with the loading time on my page. I am using query
   monitor for that.
    The problem is a user form with about 200 fields, it takes
   about 15 secs to load.
 * I activated query monitor, but all i can see there is a loading time of about
   1.08 secs.
 * Is there a setting i am missing? Or are there things query monitor can not display/
   measure?
 * with best regards,

 * Thanks for the message.
 * This could be caused by a few things that QM can’t (or currently doesn’t) measure:
    1. A lot of slow PHP processing.
    2. Server-side HTTP requests that don’t use the WordPress HTTP API (for example,
       a direct cURL call).
    3. Reading a lot of data from the filesystem on a slow server.
 * Unfortunately the only real way to debug issues like this is to start using some
   lower-level profilers such as Tideways. I’ve listed some options here: [https://github.com/johnbillion/query-monitor#related-tools](https://github.com/johnbillion/query-monitor#related-tools)
 * If you’re willing to get your hands dirty, QM includes some helper functionality
   for adding your own profiling to parts of your code: [https://querymonitor.com/blog/2018/07/profiling-and-logging/](https://querymonitor.com/blog/2018/07/profiling-and-logging/).
   If you’ve got a vague idea where the problem might lie, you can start putting`
   qm/start` and `qm/stop` actions in the code of the form plugin to try to narrow
   down the problem.
 * Otherwise, your best bet is just to get in touch with the author of the form 
   plugin and see what they say.

 * Bear in mind that this slow loading might be network-level or client-side too.
   Check the numbers in the `Overview` panel in QM to confirm whether those 15 seconds
   are taken up generating the page server-side.
 * If not, then your problem might be at the network level, or it might be a slow-
   down client side in the browser.
