Admin Dashboard overhead

+1 on this. Having same problem. Also plugin follows “Edit”-links I’ve added to site for logged in users. So it ends up analysing plugins inside wp-admin.

As far as I knew, the best thing at the moment is to scan in manual mode by visiting your website in an extra browser.

I would be nice if “Stop Scan” would work after logging out form the dashbord – testing in extra browser – relogin into dashbord to press “Stop Scan”.

Maybe this is a workaround:

Install the plugin “Plugin Logic” and set all backend only plugins to ‘Dashbord’ “no”, and ‘Activate On’ to “/wp-admin/”

How about Customize P3’s Auto Scan URLs with Plugin Name: P3 Custom Scanner. That can be found on Github:

https://gist.github.com/kurtpayne/4120936

With that plugin you just insert a plain text url-list of your website. That list then will be done by Auto Scan.

Now I’m just looking for a tool that provides me with such a plain text url list of my website.

The difference is immense, because normally there is a “wp-admin”-page in p3 default auto-scan.

In combination with “Plugin Logic” there is a further reduction.

But the best thing would be a possibility to find out the true front end only performance of the installed plugins.

Okay, with to two additional plugins above there is one thing left:
/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

One can control it either with
AJAX Heartbeat Tool
or
Heardbeat Control

https://gist.github.com/kurtpayne/4120936

With that plugin you just insert a plain text url-list of your website. That list then will be done by Auto Scan.

Thanks a lot for the hint. This works nicely ??

Now I’m just looking for a tool that provides me with such a plain text url list of my website.

Just export the ‘posts’ table from your database as CSV, open it in Excel or whatever, sort it, and copy the desired URLs from the ‘guid’ column (or a whole block of that column).

I’d like to +1 this thread.

Personally, I don’t care about any plug-in performance issues for ME when working on my site. What I care about is the impact for my visitors of plug-ins.

I’ve read this thread and am still unsure whether the suggestions will test the performance of my site’s plug-ins for those visitors who are not logged in as Admin. Would someone be kind enough to confirm that for me?
