Load Profiler

Why is my loading screen so slow?

Load Profiler answers that. It times every addon as it loads at login and shows a ranked list, slowest first, with each addon's memory use.

Features

• Load time and memory for every addon, sorted slowest first, with colored bars.
• Login split into three parts: addons loading, addons' startup code, and the game's own loading. You see how much of your loading screen your addons actually cost.
• Group by family: add up related addons (all DBM modules, all HandyNotes plugins…).
• History: keeps your last 10 logins, so you can compare before and after turning addons off.
• Chat summary of the 5 slowest addons after each login.
• Practically free: its own cost is under a millisecond.

How to use

1. Log in. Chat shows your total addon load time and the slowest addons.
2. Type /lp to see the full list.
3. Turn off what you don't need on that character, log in again and compare.

Tip: to see how fast WoW loads with no addons, log in once with only Load Profiler enabled.

Commands

• /lp: open or close the window
• /lp reset: clear the history

Good to know

• Compare cold logins, not /reload. A reload reads cached files and is much faster. Each session is labeled.
• Some setup time shows on the next addon. Many addons do heavy setup right after they load, and that time lands on the addon loaded after them. If a tiny addon shows a big number, check the one before it.
• Startup code can't be split per addon. The game gives no way to see whose code ran when, so that part is shown as one total.
