Overview
GenTime
This plugin shows site administrators the time in seconds of how fast the page is generated in the WordPress top admin bar.
The generation time is calculated from when the server receives the page request to when the number is printed, which is close to the end of the request.
So, just PHP and the database impact this calculation. The time it takes to send the page from the server to your device is not included in this timer.
That’s it, pretty simple!
