Does it work with managed hosts like WordPress VIP or WP Engine?

Yes, the skill includes platform-specific context for managed hosting environments, providing guidance on using their specific object caching helpers and recommended patterns.

Can it detect memory leaks or OOM errors?

Yes, it identifies 'Out of Memory' risks such as unbounded queries (e.g., using -1 in posts_per_page) and long-running cron jobs that can crash your server.

What specific file types does this skill analyze?

It is designed to review PHP files (functions.php, plugins), theme template files, JavaScript assets, and Gutenberg block editor code for performance-related issues.

How does this skill help with slow WordPress sites?

It scans your theme and plugin code for specific anti-patterns like unindexed database queries, blocking HTTP requests, and inefficient loops that cause slow load times.

Does it automatically apply fixes to my code?

It identifies issues with specific line numbers and provides 'Good' vs 'Bad' code examples, allowing you to understand and apply the best optimization patterns manually.
