thanks a lot.

Thanks! I was curious in the past but was told that it’s impossible.

By the way what are good numbers? I am trying to keep blog light and fast, it shows “27 queries in 0.368 seconds”.

Great tip — not every theme includes this by default, but it’s definitely useful information when developing your site.

Users don’t really need to know — and especially not search engine bots, so you could use something like this to only output it for logged in users:

<?php if (is_user_logged_in()) { ?>
<?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries in <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds.
<?php } ?>

Regarding what numbers are good, it’s the # of SQL queries which is the big one, especially if you are on shared hosting. The fewer queries you have, the faster your site will be.

Enabling plugins 1 at a time will allow you to check how much each one is adding to the query count, perhaps allowing you to look for more efficient alternatives or “cut the fat” altogether.

Oh, WP-Super-Cache & WP Widgets Cache are two plugins you can use to significantly cut down on queries and processing time.

Thanks for the tip!

Also thanks to you for enhancing the hack!
I use WP-Super-Cache, WP Widgets Cache and DB-Cache for optimization. They help me a lot..

I think it might be possible to time actual page load client-side with JavaScript, but don’t know any ready-made solutions.

Anyway this is more of debug info, I see little reason to show it to visitor anyway.
