SavedPixel Admin Debug

Profile slow wp-admin workflows, inspect request-level diagnostics, and run guided admin scans without leaving WordPress.

What It Does

SavedPixel Admin Debug is a backend performance investigation tool for WordPress administrators. It combines a manual performance scan, timed tracking sessions, session reports, and an automated admin-page scanner so you can diagnose slow dashboards, plugin screens, and WooCommerce admin workflows from inside wp-admin.

Key Workflows

• Run a one-time performance scan and review grouped findings with an overall health score.
• Start a timed tracking session, reproduce the slow workflow, and inspect the generated report.
• Launch an Auto Scan profile from the admin bar to cycle through WordPress or WooCommerce admin pages automatically.
• Export the captured report as JSON for offline review or sharing.

Features

• Unified admin UI for session history and performance scanning.
• On-demand performance scan with grouped findings and recommendations.
• Timed tracking sessions for real admin interactions.
• Automatic query capture for active sessions by enabling SAVEQUERIES only when needed.
• Request-level collection for page loads, database queries, HTTP requests, enqueued assets, hooks, client timing, client resources, web vitals, long tasks, memory phases, and recommendation data.
• Detailed session reports with per-section diagnostics instead of a single raw log dump.
• JSON report export that includes session data, recommendations, and collected system metadata.
• WordPress Auto Scan profile that navigates common admin pages such as Dashboard, Posts, Media, Users, Settings, Plugins, Themes, Tools, and Pages.
• WooCommerce Auto Scan profile that navigates WooCommerce settings, reports, orders, products, and HPOS-aware order screens when WooCommerce is active.
• Auto Scan delay presets: Instant, Fast, Normal, and Thorough.
• Pre-scan system-info collection for active plugins, Site Health debug data, WooCommerce status, and WordPress table inventory.
• Session history controls for reviewing and deleting captured runs.
• Admin-bar integration for launching Auto Scan directly from wp-admin.

Admin Page

The main plugin page combines the performance scan area and the captured session list. Detailed reports open on a dedicated report screen with sectioned diagnostics, recommendations, and export controls. Auto Scan is launched from the admin bar and shows a modal before it starts navigating through the selected admin-page profile.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.5 or later
• PHP 8.1 or later

Installation

1. Upload the savedpixel-admin-debug folder to wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen.
3. Open SavedPixel > Admin Debug.
4. Use Performance Scan for a snapshot audit, or start a session before reproducing the slow admin workflow you want to inspect.

Usage Notes

• This plugin is designed for wp-admin profiling, not front-end performance profiling.
• Tracking sessions and scans add overhead only while they are actively running.
• WooCommerce Auto Scan options appear only when WooCommerce is active.
