Hostspeed component

Hostspeed is a Joomla! component measuring performance of a host.

Test results are gathered by enabling debug mode, opening the front page of your Joomla! site and noting the load times, memory usage and number of queries executed. Debug mode is only enabled for the purpose of this test, so site visitors will never see this information.

After performing few tests, preferably over few days, you can see the daily performance in the form of table results or chart: last 10 results, average load time and memory usage or number of queries in last 7 or 30 days. (Charts are generated using Google Chart API, so they will NOT work if you test this component on localhost without Internet connection).

Datacatcher component

Datacatcher is our component used to gather test results from Hostspeed and to produce performance charts in the front end, using Google Chart API. It saves load time and memory usage for each phase of a page view (afterLoad, afterInitialize, afterRoute, afterDispatch, afterRender) and creates few chart types to present the data: average load time and total number of tests per day, average load time and average memory usage per day, average load time and average number of queries per day, detailed load times per day, detailed memory usage per day and finally the most important: average load time per host (minimum 5 tests per host per day is required).

Current charts show sample results for dates until January 15th.
