DebugHawk

We added a free plan to DebugHawk. Our onboarding had too much friction. Asking for a credit card before you've seen your own data is a big ask. 10,000 events/month, one site, no credit card. Link below.

Most WordPress sites still serve unoptimized images. It's one of the quickest fixes you can make. Lewis wrote up a 6-point checklist covering compression, WebP, lazy loading, and responsive images. debughawk.com/blog/how-to-op…

You asked, we built it. The DebugHawk API is here (currently beta). Pull your performance data into your own tools, CI/CD pipelines, and custom reports. debughawk.com/docs/api

In our dataset, the median WordPress page runs 55 database queries on public pages. The worst 5%? Over 131. Page caching bypasses the database and PHP entirely. If full page caching isn't feasible, object caching should be your next point of call.

In our dataset, only 17% of WordPress requests were served from page cache. The ones that were? 106ms TTFB vs 723ms without. It's the single highest-impact change you can make.

If you're tracking a bunch of WordPress sites in DebugHawk, you can now hide the ones you don't need. Hidden sites stop collecting data too, so they don’t count towards event limits debughawk.com/changelog

From our Q4 2025 WordPress Performance Report 👇 debughawk.com/blog/wordpress…

Persistent object caching cuts WordPress PHP execution time by 67%. 📊 508ms with Redis vs 1,542ms without. For WooCommerce, membership sites, or anything with logged-in users, where full page caching is often bypassed, this is one of the easiest wins available.

We analyzed 5.7 million WordPress pageviews from Q4 2025. 86% pass LCP 91% pass INP 94% pass CLS 65% pass TTFB The backend is where WordPress sites struggle most. Full report: debughawk.com/blog/wordpress…

New year, new infrastructure 🏗️ We've been quietly rebuilding our analytics infrastructure for speed at scale. This lays the foundations for some exciting things coming in 2026.
