Tideways VS Blackfire.io

I am biased towards my product Tideways , alternatively you can check out Sentry, Blackfire or Datadog. Each of them runs on production. If you can reproduce this on development then Xdebug. Source: 5 months ago

In a case like that iam usually using s tool like https://tideways.com/ to search for PHP or MySQL bottlenecks. It basically strips down every function or database query and Monitors it in realtime. There is a 14 day trial if you just want to use it once 😬. Source: about 1 year ago

Last time I looked NewRelic's PHP experience wasn't quite there. Blackfire has been advertising an APM for ages but when I checked in April it still wasn't released to everyone. The one which never seems to appear on Google when people go looking for one is https://tideways.com/. I've used it multiple times with clients and it finds the problems in minutes. Another up-and-coming PHP profiler is from DataDog.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Https://tideways.com/ however does and is a _fantastic_ alternative to NewRelic for PHP codebases. I've no link to it other than as a satisfied customer. It's saved me loads of time, usually in crisis moments when there's no time to spend on debugging the production service because things have to work again. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

If that does not help much I recommend using a APM like tideways or newrelic ( both have good free plans ) . Both can help dwell down where time is going. If you wish to go the free route you can explore xdebug ( Not easy but get the job done ). Source: almost 3 years ago

Not heard of blackfire.io, I mainly use lighthouse, screamingfrog and CRUX data :D. Source: about 1 year ago

Do you have XP with alternatives to blackfire.io? It may helps, but sounds a little expensive for evaluating performance issues. I found also MySQLTuner which is free (of course it only helps with the database). Source: over 1 year ago

Go get a subscription to blackfire.io and profile your application. I guarantee you that your queries to the DB are shit and not using indices. Redis will just mask the issue. You probably also have a bunch of PHP code being ran in loops. Source: over 1 year ago

Although the connection with the API should no longer cause the trouble, we knew that this was the most compute-heavy part of the platform. So the fewer requests are sent to that API, the better the website performance would be. We used Blackfire.io to check how often the web app uses the API and we got interesting results. We noticed that the homepage, the most frequently visited page, used the API twice per each... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

Nice article; skimming over it, it seems exhaustive and well-written. But nowadays, I'd generally recommend blackfire.io over XHProf. Yes, it's a (mostly) closed source SAAS platform, and the free tier only offers the most absolutely basic of tools, but by the time performance really starts to matter on your wordpress site, I don't think ~$30 a month is a dealbreaker. Installation is easier, the visualisation... Source: almost 2 years ago
