Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Footprint – Find what slows your site

It performs only HTTP GET requests against your own URLs. No options or posts are modified. However, on a heavily used production site the burst of N+1 requests may briefly spike PHP-FPM workers and could be noticed by analytics. Running on staging is recommended.

Full-page caches (LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare APO, page-cache plugins of any kind, etc.) serve the response without invoking PHP, so per-request measurements are unavailable. Footprint detects this and warns you instead of presenting fake numbers.

The differential subtraction is approximate when plugins share triggers (for example, hitting a page that already cached its query plan). The numbers are good enough to rank plugins but should not be read as exact figures.
