About Mochyon Pulse
From the official readme · v1.6.15Description
Stop guessing why your WordPress site is slow.
Mochyon Pulse analyzes every layer of your site’s performance — from Google Core Web Vitals to individual plugin impact — and tells you exactly what to fix first. One click, no configuration, and (mostly) plain English results.
This is a diagnostic tool that gives you a clear, prioritized report that helps you take action.
How It Works
- Click “Run New Analysis” in your WordPress admin
- Pulse scans your site
- You’ll see a complete performance report with prioritized recommendations
That’s it. No API keys, no setup wizard, no configuration.
What You Get
A performance analysis that covers:
- Core Web Vitals — your real-world LCP, INP, CLS, and TTFB scores from Google, with pass/warn/fail ratings
- Per-plugin performance impact — see exactly how much load time, JavaScript, CSS, and database queries each plugin adds to your page
- Asset inventory — every script and stylesheet on your page, sized and attributed to the plugin that loaded it
- Environment check — PHP version, CDN detection, compression support, and server configuration
- Plugin inventory — optimization gaps, redundant plugins, and missing essentials
Results you can understand and share:
- Plain English narrative — a written summary that explains what’s wrong, why it matters, and what to do about it
- Impact-prioritized findings — issues ranked by their actual effect on your Core Web Vitals, so you know what to fix first
- PDF reports — download a polished report to share with your developer, agency, or hosting provider
- Historical tracking — compare your baseline, previous scan, and latest results side by side to measure progress
Who It’s For
- Site owners who know their site is slow but don’t know why
- Freelancers and agencies who need to explain performance issues to clients
- Developers who want a quick diagnostic before diving into optimization
- Anyone evaluating whether their plugins, hosting, or theme is the bottleneck
Installation
- Upload the
mochyon-pulsefolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
- Navigate to the Pulse page in the admin menu.
- Click “Run New Analysis” to start your first performance scan.
No configuration is required. The plugin works immediately after activation.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to configure anything?
No. Pulse works immediately after activation — no API keys, no setup, no settings to tweak. Just click “Run New Analysis” and you’re done.
Will this plugin slow down my site?
No. Scans run in the background and only when you request them. Pulse never adds scripts, styles, or processing to your front-end pages. Your visitors are unaffected.
Does this plugin change anything on my site?
No. Mochyon Pulse is strictly a diagnostic tool. It reads and reports but never modifies your site’s code, database, or configuration.
Can I share the results?
Yes. You can download a PDF report from the dashboard that summarizes your performance analysis, findings, and per-plugin impact — ready to hand off to a team member or stakeholder.
How does the per-plugin impact analysis work?
Pulse makes instrumented requests to your site that measure how much execution time and how many database queries each plugin uses. It also attributes every JavaScript and CSS file to the plugin that loaded it. The result is a table showing exactly what each plugin costs your page load.
How often can I run a scan?
Scans can be re-run after roughly 30 seconds by default. Developers can customize that retry interval with the mochyon_pulse_retry_interval filter. Because scans take up room in your database, by default only up to 10 scans are retained, with your baseline (typically your first scan) always protected for comparison.
What data is sent externally?
When you run an analysis, your site’s URL is sent to the Mochyon API proxy at mochyon.com, which retrieves PageSpeed Insights and Chrome UX Report data from Google. No personal data is collected or stored. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for details.
Can I run Pulse on a development or staging site?
Your site needs to be publicly accessible on the web. Pulse relies on Google’s PageSpeed Insights and Chrome UX Report APIs, which can only analyze URLs that are reachable from the public internet. Isolated local development environments, password-protected staging sites, and sites behind a VPN won’t work.
What are the requirements?
WordPress 6.0 or later and PHP 8.0 or later.
