wp-performance-backend

wp-performance-backend is a skill for Claude Code from alessioarzenton/claude-code-wp-toolkit. It costs 37 tokens per session (2,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A set of rules for finding and fixing slow WordPress server-side code. It covers database queries, object caching, automatically loaded settings, scheduled tasks, and requests to remote services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to profile WordPress backends, inspect database work and caches, review cron jobs, and troubleshoot slow external HTTP requests.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured way to investigate slow pages or requests instead of guessing which part of WordPress is responsible.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wp-performance-backend scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
