## What it is
Webgrind is a web-based frontend for viewing Xdebug profiling data from PHP applications, offering a lightweight subset of kcachegrind features. It shows function costs, call chains, and call graphs, and can be installed on any web server or run via Docker.

## Use cases
- analyze xdebug profiler output in a browser
- find slow functions in a php application
- view function call costs and inclusive vs self cost
- generate a call graph from cachegrind files
- quickly inspect xdebug profiling files with docker

## When to choose
- you profile PHP with Xdebug and want a zero-config web UI
- you need a quick, cross-platform alternative to kcachegrind
- you want to inspect cachegrind files via Docker without installing anything

## When to avoid
- you need deep profiling analysis beyond kcachegrind's subset of features
- you profile non-PHP applications that don't emit cachegrind-format files
- you need continuous performance monitoring rather than on-demand inspection
