|
||||
## 📋 EXAMPLE WORKFLOW
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Run Diagnostics
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./website-slowness-diagnostics.sh
|
||||
# Select: Analyze specific domain
|
||||
# Enter: example.com
|
||||
# Wait: ~100 seconds for all checks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Review Critical Issues
|
||||
```
|
||||
🔴 CRITICAL: Xdebug Enabled in Production
|
||||
Current: Xdebug is loaded and active
|
||||
Impact: 50-70% performance penalty
|
||||
|
||||
Fix:
|
||||
php -i | grep xdebug.ini
|
||||
# Edit that file and comment out xdebug
|
||||
systemctl restart php-fpm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Implement Fixes
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Apply recommended fixes one by one
|
||||
# Test and verify improvements after each fix
|
||||
|
||||
# Example: Disable Xdebug
|
||||
php -i | grep xdebug.ini
|
||||
# Edit the file, then:
|
||||
systemctl restart php-fpm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Verify Results
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run diagnostics again to confirm fixes
|
||||
# Check if previously detected issues are resolved
|
||||
./website-slowness-diagnostics.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor site performance with tools like:
|
||||
# - Google PageSpeed Insights
|
||||
# - GTmetrix
|
||||
# - WebPageTest
|
||||
# - Browser DevTools (Lighthouse)
|
||||
```
