Find the WordPress slower with baseline, Query Monitor, log, HTTP call and controlled testing in staging; without breaking the live site.
Divide the RAM usage of WordPress between Linux, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, and job caches and measure the capacity and cause of memory growth before OOM.
Divide the high CPU usage of WordPress between traffic, bot, PHP, wp-cron, plugin, and MySQL, and find the real factor before you know it.
Identify the widget of a wp-admin from AJAX, plugins, wp-cron, databases, external API and PHP workers, even when public pages are fast.
Identify your WordPress software from TTFB, browser, PHP, database, plugins and resources step by step and avoid intuitive optimization.
