An overview of PHP profiling tools was presented. The presentation began with an introduction to profiling and why it is useful for developers. Common issues that can be identified through profiling like slow JavaScript code, high memory usage, and inefficient database queries were discussed. Tools for profiling at the browser, frontend, backend, and database level were then covered in detail including Chrome DevTools, Xdebug, XHProf, and using EXPLAIN queries. The presentation concluded with best practices for profiling like starting broadly and narrowing down the issue, verifying optimizations worked, and using benchmarks like Apache Benchmark.
