(vB4) What's Slowing Down My Forum? (Slow Plugins Finder) · **Released**: 04-13-2017

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

Click here for the vB3 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 (activity.php, blog.php, content.php, 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

Yes. You just run it from the ACP.

This product gives a lot of strange results with plugins having significant impact on scripts where they aren't supposed to be used at all.

Yes

When running test, constantly freezes at 1% done and sits there forever...

Very Nice Idea

Anyone who's renamed admincp is going to have lots of issues with this, as far as errors. This after putting the correct "showplugins.php" script into the renamed file.

Example:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function array_replace() in /home/content/22/5444333/html/(newacpname)/slowplugins.php on line 425

I have renamed mine and I have no error .... how do you duplicate it? Does it just pop up in the backend?

Yes, that one and another, while the scan is being run.

"Warning: array_combine() [function.array-combine]: Both parameters should have at least 1 element in [path]/(newacpname)/slowplugins.php on line 134"

These look like just, php version issue warnings. But, I don't get any results listed, from the testing when it is finished. Just the warning I first posted.

Hmmm ... I am going to have to run the test again and pay close attention lol ... it's a very long test lol ..
