AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Tuner is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 8 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

Advanced Use Here are more advanced ways to make use of WP Tuner. Please share your questions and/or stories examples to share with others!
1) Hook any WordPress action
In wptuner.php, you will find a default set of action hooks. You can add as many hooks as you like for other actions. They look like this (just change “admin_footer” to the name of the action you want to measure):
add_action('admin_footer', 'wpTuneFilterTime' );
Each hook adds a line to the WP Tuner performance analysis table, when that action is triggered.
2) Time anything at all in WordPress
WP Tuner contains a function that causes performance analysis for any section of WordPress code. Just use
wpTuneMarkTime(‘My Marker string’);
…at the beginning of the code you want analyzed. Add another marker at the end if needed.
For example, suppose you want to know how much time is spent loading each of the plugins you have enabled. Here’s how to do it, by adding two simple lines to wp-settings.php:
if (function_exists(wpTuneMarkTime)) wpTuneMarkTime('Load Plugins'); // Add THIS line
if ( get_option('active_plugins') ) { $current_plugins = get_option('active_plugins'); if ( is_array($current_plugins) ) { foreach ($current_plugins as $plugin) { if (function_exists(wpTuneMarkTime)) wpTuneMarkTime('Plugin: '.$plugin); // Add THIS line if ( '' != $plugin && 0 == validate_file($plugin) && file_exists(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . $plugin) ) include_once(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . $plugin); } } }<h3>Credits</h3>
