Scripts

wp profile comes from a WP-CLI package:

• wp package install wp-cli/profile-command

Docs:

• https://wpcli.dev/docs/profile/stage (opens in a new tab)
• https://wpcli.dev/docs/profile/hook (opens in a new tab)
• https://wpcli.dev/docs/profile/eval (opens in a new tab)

Recommended sequence

1. Stage overview:
   • wp profile stage --fields=stage,time,cache_ratio [--url=<url>]
2. Hooks hotspot:
   • wp profile hook --spotlight [--url=<url>]
   • then drill into a specific hook:
     • wp profile hook init --spotlight [--url=<url>]
3. Targeted evaluation:
   • wp profile eval 'do_action(\"init\");' --hook=init

Tips:

• Use --url to profile specific site/route behavior.
• Use --skip-plugins / --skip-themes to isolate culprit components (careful: behavior changes).
