Dragon Speed Doctor Pro

Dragon Speed Doctor Pro 1.0.0 is here: scheduled and after-update scans, a 12-month performance history, and slowdown alerts that name what changed.

Dragon Speed Doctor (free) tells you which plugin slows your site down when you ask it. Pro keeps asking, so a slowdown is caught close to the change that caused it.

What is in 1.0.0

• Scheduled scans - weekly or daily, plus an automatic scan shortly after a plugin, theme or WordPress update.
• 12-month performance history - a chart and table of every scan, so you can see how the site and each plugin have changed over the year.
• Confirmed slowdown alerts - email, Slack or signed webhook. A suspected slowdown is re-measured by a second scan before anything is sent, and the alert names what changed in between (a plugin update, a newly added plugin, a theme or WordPress update). An inconclusive measurement never raises an alert.
• Per-plugin breakdown - the database queries and outgoing HTTP calls each plugin makes on a real front-end page, attributed to the plugin responsible.
• Site Health and WP-CLI - a Site Health test that the scheduled scan is running, and wp speed-doctor-pro history, run and alert-test.

Good to know

• Requires Dragon Speed Doctor 1.1.1 or later, WordPress 6.2+, PHP 8.0+.
• Everything is measured on your own server. The only outbound traffic is to the alert channels you configure and to dragoncore.ltd for licence and update checks.
• If your licence lapses, every feature keeps working on your activated sites. New versions, downloads and support stop until you renew.
