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:

WebProfiler



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
