## 설명

Footprint is a performance profiler that tells a WordPress administrator which plugins**
and which theme** have the highest impact on the performance of a given page, and
what to do about it. A lighter site is also a more sober site, both for your visitors
and for the planet.

Unlike profilers built for developers (Query Monitor, Code Profiler), Footprint 
is decision-oriented. In thirty seconds you should know:

 * which plugin or theme slows the page the most,
 * which one ships the heaviest JS/CSS,
 * which one issues the most SQL queries,
 * which one consumes the most memory,
 * which one calls external services,
 * whether the active theme has a meaningful footprint of its own,
 * what to optimise first.

When you re-scan the same URL, the report shows what changed since the previous 
scan: score, server time, memory, SQL, external calls, and the components whose 
impact moved most.

#### How it works

Footprint runs a **differential scan**: it loads the target URL once with everything
active (baseline) and once per plugin with that plugin disabled, for the duration
of a single internal HTTP request only. The difference between the two runs gives
a real measurement of that plugin’s footprint, not an estimation.

A small must-use plugin loader performs the per-request swap. You install it in 
one click the first time you scan (it lives in `wp-content/mu-plugins/`, outside
this plugin’s folder, and is removed on uninstall). Nothing is changed in your database.

The whole report you see on screen is computed locally on your server: the per-component
impact on time, memory, SQL and assets, the ranking of the heaviest components, 
and the optimization advice. The plugin is fully functional on its own. The only
thing that needs the Footprint Pulse service is the A-E **Footprint Score**, which
compares your result against the anonymized measurements of thousands of other sites
and cannot be computed locally.

#### Honesty about limits

Footprint provides estimated measurements where exact attribution is impossible.
WordPress loads the core, plugins and theme inside the same PHP process, which makes
perfect per-plugin memory attribution unreliable. The differential scan greatly 
improves the signal but it is still subject to:

 * run-to-run variance (typically 5-15%),
 * dependency cascades (disabling a parent plugin can disable extensions of it),
 * page caches (a cached page bypasses PHP and yields no useful measurement),
 * opcode and object cache warm-up effects.

The report flags any of these conditions when detected.

#### Privacy

Footprint includes a community ranking called **Footprint Pulse**. Sharing is **
on by default** and can be turned off any time in Settings. The plugin’s local report,
per-component impact and recommendations work exactly the same either way. The only
thing sharing adds is the community A-E Footprint Score described above.

When sharing is enabled, after each scan the plugin sends to `https://www.wpfootprint.
com`:

 * the slug and version of each measured plugin and the active theme,
 * time, memory and SQL counts attributed to each component (the same numbers shown
   on screen),
 * the number of scripts, styles and external HTTP calls each component added,
 * WordPress, PHP and MySQL versions,
 * an anonymous site identifier generated locally on your server.

What is **not** sent: the URL of your pages, your content, visitor data, IP addresses,
cookies, user accounts, database content, API keys, file paths, server hostnames.

On first enrollment only, your domain is sent once so Pulse can call back into your
WordPress AJAX endpoint to verify a cryptographic signature that proves you own 
the site. The domain is kept on the server for audit and re-verification, never 
displayed publicly, and never attached to your scans.

 * No tracking, no advertising, no third-party SDK.
 * The scan never modifies wp-config.php or your database content.
 * Visitors are never profiled: only signed admin-initiated scans collect data.
 * Turning sharing off stops the network call entirely; previously contributed measurements
   stay aggregated and anonymous.

#### Third-party services

This plugin transmits data to **Footprint Pulse** (`https://www.wpfootprint.com`),
a service operated by ByUs for the purpose described in the Privacy section above.
As stated above, sharing is enabled by default and can be turned off at any time
from the in-plugin Settings panel. Disabling it stops the network call entirely.

## 설치

 1. Upload the plugin to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate Footprint through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Tools > Footprint** and click **Analyse the home page**, or enter an internal
    URL to scan.

The first time you run a scan, Footprint asks you to install a small PHP file (a
must-use plugin) into `wp-content/mu-plugins/` (outside the plugin folder). The 
file is shipped with the plugin, is added only after you click to confirm, is required
for the differential scan, and is automatically removed when Footprint is deactivated.

## FAQ

### Is the differential scan safe to run on a production site?

It performs only HTTP GET requests against your own URLs. No options or posts are
modified. However, on a heavily used production site the burst of N+1 requests may
briefly spike PHP-FPM workers and could be noticed by analytics. Running on staging
is recommended.

### Why does my scan say “Cache detected”?

Full-page caches (LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare APO, page-cache plugins of any kind,
etc.) serve the response without invoking PHP, so per-request measurements are unavailable.
Footprint detects this and warns you instead of presenting fake numbers.

### Why isn’t the per-plugin SQL count exact?

The differential subtraction is approximate when plugins share triggers (for example,
hitting a page that already cached its query plan). The numbers are good enough 
to rank plugins but should not be read as exact figures.

## 변경이력

#### 0.23.1

 * Clearer consent before installing the must-use helper: the prompt now states 
   explicitly that a PHP file is added to wp-content/mu-plugins/. The file is shipped
   with the plugin, installed only after the admin clicks to confirm, and removed
   on uninstall.

#### 0.23.0

 * The full report (per-component time, memory, SQL and asset impact, ranking and
   advice) is now computed and shown locally on your server, with or without community
   sharing. The community A-E Footprint Score is the only part that uses the Footprint
   Pulse service.
 * The must-use measurement helper is no longer installed silently. The first scan
   asks for a one-time confirmation before writing it to wp-content/mu-plugins/.

#### 0.22.12

 * Renamed the “Time Δ” column to “Gain (ms)” with a help tooltip explaining that
   values are individual deltas and don’t add up, which is clearer for non-technical
   users.

#### 0.22.9

 * Initial public release.
