How it works<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. Click \"Scan Plugins\" to start the scan<\/li>\n
  2. The scanner runs a baseline test with all plugins enabled on your homepage<\/li>\n
  3. Then it tests each plugin individually by temporarily disabling it<\/li>\n
  4. Results show the impact (time delta, status changes, output changes) for each plugin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Features<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • Safe loopback testing that doesn't affect visitors<\/li>\n
    • Measures response time impact per plugin<\/li>\n
    • Detects plugins that break the site (status changes)<\/li>\n
    • Detects plugins that change page output<\/li>\n
    • Results sorted by impact (highest first)<\/li>\n
    • Cancel scan at any time<\/li>\n
    • Works with AJAX-based progress display<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the code-medic-slow-site-scanner<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
      3. Go to Tools > Scan Plugins to use the scanner<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Is this safe to use on a live site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes, the scanner uses loopback requests internally and doesn't affect what visitors see. It temporarily disables plugins only during its own test requests.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How long does a scan take?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        The scan time depends on the number of active plugins and your site's response time. Each plugin is tested individually plus one baseline request, each with an 8-second timeout.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will this disable my plugins permanently?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The plugin temporarily disables plugins only during its own test requests using a must-use plugin. The temporary file is automatically cleaned up after the scan completes or is cancelled.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I cancel a scan in progress?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes, click the \"Cancel\" button to stop the scan. The temporary files will be cleaned up automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
