Toggle profiling

To profile your PHP code, you have to start the Xdebug profiler first:

box xdebug:profiler start

Every PHP file that gets executed will now generate profiling information in the form of a cachegrind file. You can analyze these files using an application like KCacheGrind, MCG or PHPStorm.

The box has Webgrind pre-installed and configured at http://webgrind.joomla.box. However, please note that it might fail on complex and large cachegrind files. A desktop app is recommended.

By default, cachegrind files will be stored in .

Remember to disable profiling once you are done:

box xdebug:profiler stop

For more information about Xdebug profiling, refer to the official documentation at http://www.xdebug.org/docs/profiler.
