 * I have added the following go to the top of my header template file:
 *     ```
       <?
       $gen_time = microtime();
       $gen_time = explode(' ', $gen_time);
       $gen_time = $gen_time[1] + $gen_time[0];
       $gen_start = $gen_time;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I have added the following code to the bottom of the footer template:
 *     ```
       <?
       $gen_time = microtime();
       $gen_time = explode(' ', $gen_time);
       $gen_time = $gen_time[1] + $gen_time[0];
       $gen_finish = $gen_time;
       $total_gen_time = round(($gen_finish - $gen_start), 4);
       echo 'Page generated in '.$total_gen_time.' seconds.'."<br />";
       ?>
       ```
   
 * For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I get outputs like this when the 
   page loads near instant:
 * > Page generated in 1207596110.82 seconds.
 * I have used this code outside WP without problems. Why is it an issue with WP
   templates? Any thoughts?

 * It works fine for me. Perhaps it’s an issue particular to your theme or PHP install.

 * It’s not PHP because I can do this in outside of WP. I thought it might be the
   theme also, so, I change my variable names just in case there was some sort of
   conflict. Unfortunately, that didn’t help. I then tried the default theme with
   WP and that still didn’t work.
 * I need to figure something else to try and I am a little how of ideas.
 * Thank you for trying it out yourself. I wish I knew the difference. Maybe it’s
   a plugin doing something…. who knows.
