XHProf is a lightweight function-level hierarchical profiler for PHP, implemented as a C PHP extension with a PHP-based HTML reporting UI. It reports inclusive/exclusive wall time, CPU time, memory usage, and call counts per function, with diff and aggregate reports and callgraph visualization.

Use cases

  • profile php application performance
  • find slow functions in php code
  • compare two php profiling runs
  • generate callgraph of php execution
  • measure memory usage per php function
  • profile php 8.4 application

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, low-overhead function-level profiler for PHP
  • you want browser-based reports with diff and callgraph views
  • you need profiling support for modern PHP versions including 8.x

When to avoid

  • you need distributed tracing or continuous production profiling rather than on-demand function profiling
  • you want a modern UI or integration with APM platforms like Datadog or New Relic
  • you need profiling for languages other than PHP
