Impact on website performance (data to prove)

  • I’ve been using this plugin since day one. Love the idea of hiding the fact that I’m using WordPress. Had some issues with password recovery but after posting them, took about a week for the plugin developer to provide an update, which is great. Chapeau!
    Was considering to donate, I always support the plugins I’m using. I make money with them, developers need to make money as well!

    Sadly though, I will need to stop using this plugin. I’ve ran a benchmark on a not so powerful dedicated server running WordPress + WooCommerce on an Apache FPM with PHP7. The site is in development mode, no caching techniques have ben applied.

    Using apache bench (ab -n 100 -c 100 https://www.example.com) I was able to get 13.9 requests per second with wp-hide disabled and 11.6 requests per second with the plugin enabled and most options active. That’s up to 17% reduction in performance.

    All in all, great plugin so far, amazing development and commitment, could easily rank it 5 stars, it’s just that this plugin makes the websites slower, and if you want to squeeze all the performance out of the website, you’d need think twice before installing it.

    Did you tried to set to No the Wp Hide -> Rewrite -> URL Slash as this is the only option which possible decrease an overall site speed.
