PageGenerationTime

Question

How long does pmwiki need to generate a page?

Answer

This recipe adds the time used to generate a page to the template. Sometimes when a page takes a long time to show up, this is a convenient means to see how long the script needs to generate the page.

Instructions

Into you local config.php file insert:

## Page generation timer recipe
$GenerationBegin = microtime();
function GenerationTime(){
	global $GenerationBegin;
	list($begin1, $begin2) = explode(' ', $GenerationBegin);
	list($end1, $end2) = explode(' ', microtime());
	echo round($end1 + $end2 - $begin1 - $begin2, 3);
}

In your template file (if you are using the default template the file is /pub/skins/pmwiki/pmwiki.tmpl )

search for:

 <!--/PageFooterFmt-->

insert just before the last [</div>]:

 
<br />
<small>Page generated in <!--function:GenerationTime--> seconds.</small>
<br />

Alternative Instructions

• Download generationtime.phpΔ and place it in your cookbook directory.
• Add include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/generationtime.php"); to your local/config.php.
• Anywhere in a page where you want to output the measured value add (:GenerationTime:), for example in the Triad skin you could place it in Site.PageFooter.
