  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted to get detailed performance data for the pages on your Drupal sites? There’s a module for that.
  • Module name/project name:
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in Jan 2014 by Luca Lusso of Italy who was a guest on the show in episode #425
    • Versions available: 10.1.5 which works with Drupal >=10.1.2
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained, latest release on Feb 1
    • Security coverage
    • Test coverage
    • Not much in the way of documentation, but the module is largely a wrapper for the Symfony WebProfiler bundle, which has its own section in the Symfony documentation
    • Number of open issues: 36 open issues, 13 of which are bugs
  • Usage stats:
    • 477 sites
  • Module features and usage
    • Once installed the module adds a toolbar to the bottom of your site, within which it will show a variety of data for every page:
    • Route and Controller
    • Memory usage
    • Time to load (with some additional setup)
    • Number of AJAX requests
    • Number of queries run and the total query time
    • Number of blocks visible
    • How many forms are on the profile
    • Lots of other detailed information available through links
    • Reports are saved into the database, so you can dig through additional details such as:
    • Request information like access metadata, cookies, session info, and server parameters, in addition to the request and response headers
    • All of the queries that ran, how long each took, and even a quick way to create an EXPLAIN statement to get deeper insight from your database engine
    • You can also view all the services available, and with a single click open the class file in the IDE of your choice
    • A handy alternative to other performance monitoring tools like XHProf (either as Drupal module, or installed directly into your development environment), or commercial tools like Blackfire or New Relic
    • Discussion
    • Luca’s book Modernizing Drupal 10 Theme Development actually provides a great deep dive into this module
