A simple question here. I have drupal installed and a number of modules including some customizations. I am seeing some performance issues and am looking for a way to see how long different aspects of the page take to load. Can someone point in the right direction? I have no idea where to start.
Thanks!
Mark

The Devel module is a good place to start http://drupal.org/project/devel

I haven't tried it yet, but XHPRof http://drupal.org/project/XHProf looks promising too. I am not sure if you can run it on a shared host yet.

Authenticated User Caching - AuthCache.
Anonymous User Caching - Boost.

Also remember that if you've used a module, decided it's no longer what you wanted, and uninstalled it, make sure that you check your database since not all tables were wiped from a module uninstall.

Administrative User (First account) is never cached, so you won't be able to enjoy caching unless you use a test account. Anymore questions, feel free to ask.

If you're not already using them, look into the Boost and AuthCache modules too. They help speed things up a lot if you can use these more aggressive caching techniques. I also like to give Drupal 64-128M of RAM to use whenever possible.

I will look into the caching modules, but what I'm really interested in is making sure that my module hacks haven't caused horrible memory/performance issues. Maybe I should have posted this in the module development forum. I didn't realize devel could help you look at performance, I will try and figure out how that works. I mostly have used devel for inspecting variables.
Thanks again,
Mark

I enabled the devel performance logging module and it seems to be what I was looking for. THANKS!
