Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Dragon Speed Doctor – Find What Slows Your Site Down

Usually one of four things: a plugin doing heavy work on every request, a plugin shipping large scripts to every page, bloated autoloaded options in the database, or slow hosting. The doctor measures the first three directly and tells you which plugin is responsible, so you fix the actual cause instead of guessing.

Yes, with one caveat. Visitors are never served a modified site. Plugin loading changes only for the doctor's own signed internal requests. The caveat: a scan sends a few hundred requests to your server over several minutes, which adds load. On a busy site, run it at a quiet time, or enable host-safe mode in Settings to slow it down further.

Query Monitor is a superb developer tool that inspects the current request in deep technical detail. The doctor answers a different question, namely which plugin to blame, by measuring whole pages with and without each plugin, and it answers in sentences rather than stack traces. Many people will want both.

Not in the function-call sense. It does not hook into PHP or list which functions ran. It measures whole page loads with and without each plugin, so the result is a per-plugin cost in milliseconds rather than a call tree. The asset and database audits are separate, single-pass checks.

Some plugins fatal when a plugin they depend on is missing, such as a WooCommerce extension without WooCommerce. The doctor detects this and measures the group as a whole rather than breaking your test requests.

Usually yes, automatically. If your server cannot reach its own public URL, define DRAGONSPEEDDOCTOR_LOOPBACK_BASE in wp-config.php with an address the server can reach (for example http://app-container or a private IP). Only the scheme, host and port are used; any path on the address is ignored because each request keeps its own path. The doctor keeps the correct Host header so WordPress routes normally. For safety the override is honoured only when the host is localhost, a loopback, private or link-local IP address written in full (dotted IPv4 or bracketed IPv6), or a hostname whose every DNS address is in one of those ranges. Anything else, including a name that does not resolve, is ignored, so measurement traffic never leaves your infrastructure.
