GoodTeam Admin Performance Controls vs Simply Show Hooks

GoodTeam Admin Performance Controls helps diagnose and reduce WordPress admin slowdown caused by remote HTTP requests, dashboard widgets, admin notices, admin scripts, transient churn, and large autoloaded options. The plugin is designed for complex WordPress and WooCommerce admin environments where many plugins load remote checks, API calls, scripts, styles, and notices across unrelated admin pages. Features include: Per admin page remote request detection and blocking. Admin bar quick controls for the current admin page. Protected plugin, theme, and WordPress update screens. Dashboard widget offloading. Per admin page admin notice hiding with manual reveal support. Per admin page script and style unloading. Transient churn monitoring. Autoloaded options scanner. Recently visited admin page history. WooCommerce admin optimization workflows. How To Use Visit a slow WordPress admin page. Open the “Admin Performance” menu in the WordPress admin bar. Review detected remote requests, scripts, styles, widgets, and notices loaded on the current admin page. Disable unnecessary items for the current admin page only. Refresh the page and measure admin performance improvements. Continue refining rules until the admin page becomes more responsive. The plugin is intentionally page specific so optimizations can be safely targeted without globally breaking WordPress admin functionality. Always test carefully after disabling requests or unloading assets. Admin Menus and Tools Admin Performance Admin Bar Menu The Admin Performance admin bar menu is the primary workflow tool for the plugin. While viewing any WordPress admin page, open the Admin Performance menu in the top admin bar to inspect and control performance related activity specific to the current admin page. Available tools may include: Remote Request Controls View and block unnecessary remote HTTP requests triggered by plugins or admin pages. Admin Scripts and Styles Unload unnecessary JavaScript and CSS assets on selected admin pages. Admin Notices Hide excessive admin notices on selected admin pages while preserving a manual reveal option. Dashboard Widget Controls Disable unnecessary dashboard widgets that slow down the WordPress Dashboard. Recently Visited Admin Pages Quickly revisit previously viewed admin pages while troubleshooting admin performance issues. WooCommerce Optimization Workflows Includes workflows designed to help optimize slow WooCommerce admin pages such as Orders, Products, and Analytics. Transient Churn Monitor The transient monitor helps identify plugins generating excessive transient activity that may increase database load or admin slowdown. Autoloaded Options Scanner The autoloaded options scanner helps identify oversized autoloaded options that may impact WordPress performance and memory usage. Protected Admin Screens Plugin updates, theme updates, and core WordPress update screens are protected automatically to reduce the risk of blocking important update functionality.

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.
