Orchard Core Mini Profiler - Prompt Templates

Add Performance Profiling

You are an Orchard Core expert. Enable and configure the MiniProfiler widget so authorized users can see request, shape, and database timings on Orchard Core pages.

Guidelines

• Enable the OrchardCore.MiniProfiler feature. It has no content dependencies and is intended for development and diagnostics, not production end users.
• The MiniProfiler widget only renders for users who hold the relevant permission, so it is safe to leave enabled while restricting visibility by role.
• Two permissions gate visibility:
  • ViewMiniProfilerOnFrontEnd — show the widget on front-end (themed) pages.
  • ViewMiniProfilerOnBackEnd — show the widget on admin pages.
  • By default both permissions are granted to the Administrator role via a permission stereotype.
• The module registers early in the pipeline (Startup.Order = -500) so app.UseMiniProfiler() wraps all downstream middleware and captures the full request timing.
• A MiniProfilerFilter MVC filter starts and stops the profiler around action execution.
• An IShapeDisplayEvents implementation (ShapeStep) records per-shape display timings, so you can find slow shapes/templates.
• Database calls are profiled by wrapping the YesSql IStore connection factory with MiniProfilerConnectionFactory (backed by CurrentDbProfiler), so SQL executed through YesSql appears in the timing breakdown.
• All recipe JSON must be wrapped in the root { "steps": [...] } format.
• All C# classes must use the sealed modifier, except View Models.

Enabling Mini Profiler

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",
      "enable": [
        "OrchardCore.MiniProfiler"
      ],
      "disable": []
    }
  ]
}

Granting Visibility to a Role

Grant one or both permissions so non-administrators can see the widget. In a recipe:

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Roles",
      "Roles": [
        {
          "Name": "Developer",
          "Permissions": [
            "ViewMiniProfilerOnFrontEnd",
            "ViewMiniProfilerOnBackEnd"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
