 * I’m going to use VPS with nginx and PHP 7 installed.
 * There are many different plugins and some of them aren’t very well written. I
   know that chasing the best of the best is usually not a good idea, but I recently
   discovered that Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer plugin created an extremely
   high cpu-load, increasing admin panel loading time up to 6 times.
 * I need a way to track which plugin is heavy and which isn’t. In the past, there
   was a P3 Plugin Profiler (plugin for WordPress). But it’s outdated and doesn’t
   support PHP 7. There are currently no plugins that can replace it.
 * Is there some nginx or php extensions that will help me to accomplish my goal?
   I also heard about New Relic, but this one is really expensive.

 * I use Digital Ocean to host my sites and a really quick way to figure that out
   is to run htop [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop)
   in the shell (assuming you have SSH access).
 * Then there’s a plugin I haven’t tested but I always wanted to: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/server-status-littlebizzy/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/server-status-littlebizzy/)
   if you want to give it a shot go ahead – and let me know if it’s good.
