## WHAT WAS IMPLEMENTED

### Phase 6: Framework-Specific Deep Dives (15 checks)

#### Drupal Optimization (3 checks)

1. **analyze_drupal_module_bloat()** - Counts enabled modules
   - Impact: More modules = slower page load
   - Fix: Disable unused modules via admin UI
   - Detection: Query system table for enabled modules

2. **analyze_drupal_cache_config()** - Checks cache backend
   - Impact: Database cache much slower than Redis
   - Fix: Switch to Redis backend
   - Detection: Parse settings.php for redis/memcache config

3. **analyze_drupal_database_slow()** - Analyzes cache table growth
   - Impact: Large cache tables slow down all queries
   - Fix: Run cache-clear and configure expiry
   - Detection: Query INFORMATION_SCHEMA for cache_* table sizes

#### Joomla Optimization (3 checks)

4. **analyze_joomla_component_bloat()** - Counts installed components
   - Impact: More components = higher overhead
   - Fix: Uninstall unused components
   - Detection: Count directories in /components/

5. **analyze_joomla_cache_type()** - Checks cache handler
   - Impact: File cache 3-5x slower than Redis
   - Fix: Switch to Redis in admin configuration
   - Detection: Parse configuration.php for handler type

6. **analyze_joomla_session_bloat()** - Monitors session table size
   - Impact: Large session tables slow queries
   - Fix: Configure session garbage collection
   - Detection: Query INFORMATION_SCHEMA for jos_session table

#### Magento Optimization (4 checks)

7. **analyze_magento_flat_catalog()** - Checks flat catalog status
   - Impact: Without flat catalog, product queries 5-10x slower
   - Fix: Enable in admin System > Configuration > Catalog > Frontend
   - Detection: Parse env.php/local.xml for flat settings

8. **analyze_magento_indexing()** - Analyzes reindex queue
   - Impact: Unprocessed indexes slow product operations
   - Fix: Run indexer:reindex CLI command
   - Detection: Query catalog_product_flat_0 table size

9. **analyze_magento_log_tables()** - Monitors log table growth
   - Impact: Large log tables = slower DB and backups
   - Fix: Run log:clean or disable logging
   - Detection: Query INFORMATION_SCHEMA for log table sizes

10. **analyze_magento_extensions_bloat()** - Counts custom extensions
    - Impact: More extensions = slower load and memory
    - Fix: Audit and disable unused extensions
    - Detection: Count directories in app/code/

#### Laravel Optimization (4 checks)

11. **analyze_laravel_debug_mode()** - Detects APP_DEBUG=true

    - Fix: Set APP_DEBUG=false in .env
    - Detection: Grep for APP_DEBUG=true in .env

12. **analyze_laravel_query_logging()** - Checks query logging
    - Impact: 5-10% performance penalty from logging

    - Detection: Parse config/database.php for log settings

13. **analyze_laravel_cache_driver()** - Checks cache backend
    - Impact: File cache 5-10x slower than Redis
    - Fix: Switch CACHE_DRIVER to redis in .env
    - Detection: Parse .env for CACHE_DRIVER setting

14. **analyze_laravel_app_size()** - Analyzes vendor directory
    - Impact: Large vendor affects deployment and autoloader
    - Fix: Review and remove unnecessary dev dependencies
    - Detection: du -sh vendor/ directory

#### Generic Framework Detection (1 check)

15. **analyze_custom_framework_detection()** - Catches custom frameworks
    - Impact: Identifies optimization opportunities
    - Fix: Review application structure
    - Detection: Count config files and check composer.json

---

### Phase 6: System-Level Deep Dives (7 checks)

    - Fix: Install haveged or rng-tools
    - Threshold: < 1000 bits = WARNING

17. **analyze_io_scheduler()** - Checks block device I/O scheduler
    - Impact: Slow scheduler = slower disk I/O
    - Fix: Switch to mq-deadline (for NVMe)
    - Detection: Read /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler

18. **analyze_process_limits()** - Monitors process table usage
    - Impact: Process table full = cannot spawn new processes
    - Fix: Kill zombies or increase pid_max
    - Threshold: > 50% of max = WARNING

19. **analyze_swap_io_performance()** - Detects swap I/O
    - Impact: CRITICAL - 50-100x slower than RAM
    - Fix: Upgrade RAM or reduce memory footprint
    - Detection: vmstat si column > 100

20. **analyze_network_socket_limits()** - Checks connection limits
    - Impact: Connection backlog full = dropped connections
    - Fix: Increase somaxconn in sysctl.conf
    - Threshold: > 50% of max = WARNING

21. **analyze_filesystem_inodes()** - Monitors inode exhaustion
    - Impact: Cannot create files even if space available
    - Fix: Delete small files and temp directories
    - Threshold: > 80% = WARNING

22. **analyze_system_load_baseline()** - Analyzes load average trend
    - Impact: High load = processes waiting for CPU
    - Fix: Profile and optimize slow processes
    - Threshold: > 2.0 per CPU = WARNING
