Webgrind Webgrind is an Xdebug profiling web frontend in PHP. It implements a subset of the features of kcachegrind and installs in seconds and works on all platforms. For quick'n'dirty optimizations it does the job. Here's a screenshot showing the output from profiling: Features Super simple, cross platform installation - obviously :) Track time spent in functions by self cost or inclusive cost. Inclusive cost is time inside function + calls to other functions. See if time is spent in internal or user functions. See where any function was called from and which functions it calls. Generate a call graph using gprof2dot.py Suggestions for improvements and new features are more than welcome - this is just a start. Installation Download webgrind Unzip package to favourite path accessible by webserver. Load webgrind in browser and start profiling Alternatively, on PHP 5.4+ run the application using the PHP built-in server with the command composer serve or php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 index.php if you are not using Composer. For faster preprocessing, give write access to the bin subdirectory, or compile manually: Linux / Mac OS X: execute make in the unzipped folder (requires GCC or Clang.) Windows: execute nmake -f NMakeFile in the unzipped folder (requires Visual Studio 2015 or higher.) See the Installation Wiki page for more. Use with Docker Instead of uploading webgrind to a web server or starting a local one, you can use the official Docker image to quickly inspect existing xDebug profiling files. To use the Docker image, run the following command with /path/to/xdebug/files replaced by the actual path of your profiling files. docker run --rm -v /path/to/xdebug/files:/tmp -p 80:80 jokkedk/webgrind:latest Now open http://localhost in your browser. After using webgrind you can stop the Docker container by pressing CTRL / Strg + C . To use the built-in file viewer, mount the appropriate files under /host in the container. Credits Webgrind is written by Joakim Nygard and Jacob Oettinger . It would not have been possible without the great tool that Xdebug is thanks to Derick Rethans . Current maintainer is Micah Ng .
