## Descripció

#### GenTime

This plugin shows site administrators the time in seconds of how fast the page is
generated in the WordPress top admin bar.

The generation time is calculated from when the server receives the page request
to when the number is printed, which is close to the end of the request.

So, just PHP and the database impact this calculation. The time it takes to send
the page from the server to your device is not included in this timer.

That’s it, pretty simple!

## Instal·lació

 1. Install GenTime either via the WordPress.org plugin directory or upload the files
    to your server.
 2. Either Network Activate this plugin or activate it on a single site.
 3. That’s it!

#### Change the number of decimals

Use this filter to change the number of decimals shown by the timer. The number 
defaults to 3, but this filter makes it 4.

    ```
    add_filter( 'gentime_decimals', fn( $default = 3 ) => 4 );
    ```

([Where can I place filters?](https://tsf.fyi/docs/filters#where))

#### Change the view capability requirement

Add this to `wp-config.php` to change the user capability required to view the timer:

    ```
    define( 'GENTIME_VIEW_CAPABILITY', 'manage_options' );
    ```

And does it quite well! As an enhancement I’d love to see what queries and remote
calls took the longest.

You just activate it and it works without the need for anything else.It couldn’t
be simpler 😉 I liked it a lot

Did that object cache have an effect on the back end? Did that PHP 8.2 upgrade change
page generation times? Is the server currently bogged down, or am I just impatient?
GenTime is so simple and yet so useful. By having basic page generation timer in
the admin bar at all times, it really helps to qualify the website speed over time.
Don’t underestimate the importance of backend speed. When managing WordPress websites
all day, a few 100 ms at every click, makes a difference. GenTime is a stable on
the sites I administer now. Highly recommended

Doesn’t bog down the system and works as expected! Better than any other timing 
plugin I’ve used.

Useful for testing page load speed especially if you have many different page setups.
Thanks!
