One of the major causes of unhappy members/visitors is a slow forum!

Click here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=324918) for the vB4 version

Since vB doesn't have all the necessary features out of the box, every forum has dozens of plugins installed. However, some of those plugins can cause more bad than good by significantly increasing load time due lack of optimization / poor code.

I developed this AdminCP tool to help find those plugins and speed up your forums.

It works by analyzing page load time in the most popular pages (forum.php, forumdisplay.php, member.php, profile.php, showthread.php, usercp.php), enabling 1 product at a time and comparing it to load times with all plugins disabled.

All of this happens without actually disabling any products/plugins, so no need to worry about your forum breaking while the test is running.

Installation is simple, upload the contents in the "UPLOAD" folder to the forum root and import the XML file in the "XML" folder.
You will see a new tab in the AdminCP called "Slow Plugins". From there you can view previous test results and run new tests.

Let me know if you have questions/comments/suggestions/feedback

Also, please remember to "Mark As Installed" and rate for support & future updates.

Enjoy :)

That's the default, but feel free to play around with it and compare the results :)
