Can this skill help with slow WordPress database queries?

Yes, it specifically scans for unindexed meta_queries, leading wildcards in LIKE statements, and unbounded queries that cause significant database strain.

How does it handle AJAX and frontend performance?

It identifies inefficient patterns such as using POST methods for read operations (which bypasses cache) and detects polling patterns that can lead to self-DDoS issues.

Does it support the latest WordPress performance features?

Yes, it is optimized for WordPress 6.9+ and PHP 8.0+, including checks for on-demand CSS loading and block theme render-blocking resource reductions.

Can it be used for profiling live WordPress sites?

While primarily a code analyzer, it provides specific WP-CLI profiling commands and Query Monitor instructions to safely diagnose performance in production-like environments.
