Title: [Plugin: P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)] Does this plugin work while caching plugins are running? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)] Does this plugin work while caching plugins are running? * Resolved [Eric Rasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericrasch/) * (@ericrasch) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-p3-plugin-performance-profiler-does-this-plugin-work-while-caching-plugins-are-running/) * I ran this plugin on a local version of my WP install and then ran it on a live site version. The results were totally different. * On the local version, the plugin seemed to work fine and identified the speeds& queries of the other active plugins. * On the live site, P3 only identified itself as the offending plugin. I have WP- Super Cache running on the live site (but not the local). Is this causing the mis-reporting? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/p3-profiler/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/p3-profiler/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Contributor [Kurt Payne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kurtpayne/) * (@kurtpayne) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-p3-plugin-performance-profiler-does-this-plugin-work-while-caching-plugins-are-running/#post-2528903) * Hi Eric, * Are you using WP Super Cache on your local site as well? * Thread Starter [Eric Rasch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericrasch/) * (@ericrasch) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-p3-plugin-performance-profiler-does-this-plugin-work-while-caching-plugins-are-running/#post-2528913) * Nope.

Just a normal LAMP stack. * I upgraded the plugin and re-ran the test today and I’m basically getting the same results.

This is not due to WP Super Cache. Here’s how to keep eaccelerator’s opcode cache running and turn off the optimizer temporarily: * **If you’re using mod_php** (Your phpinfo page says “Apache 2.0 Handler”) Edit your wordpress/.htaccess file and put this at the top: `php_flag eaccelerator. optimizer 0` Run P3, and when you’re done, just remove that change. * **If you’re using another handler and php 5.3** (Your phpinfo page says “CGI/ FastCGI”) Edit wordpress/.user.ini (create this file if it doesn’t exist) and put this content at the top: `eaccelerator.optimizer = 0` Run P3, and when you’re done, just remove that change. This file is cached by PHP, so it will take ~5 minutes for the optimizer to be re-enabled depending upon your system configuration. * **If you’re using another handler and php 5.2** (Your phpinfo page says “CGI/ FastCGI”) If you have configure eaccelerator to include your P3’s plugin folder as an admin folder, then the latest development branch can automatically disable the optimizer. [https://eaccelerator.net/wiki/Settings](https://eaccelerator.net/wiki/Settings)( FYI: this page has an out of date security certificate) * **If you’re using litespeed** (Your phpinfo page says “LiteSpeed”) Use the . htaccess instructions from above. * [keeleydavis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keeleydavis/) * (@keeleydavis) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-p3-plugin-performance-profiler-does-this-plugin-work-while-caching-plugins-are-running/#post-2529092) * Hello Eric, So sorry to hit you up on an unrelated topic but you seemed to be having the same issue I have been pulling my hair out over.
