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. ThatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s it, pretty simple! ## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀ 1. Install GenTime either via the WordPress.org plugin directory or upload the files to your server. 2. Either Network Activate this plugin or activate it on a single site. 3. ThatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s it! #### Change the number of decimals Use this filter to change the number of decimals shown by the timer. The number defaults to 3, but this filter makes it 4. ``` add_filter( 'gentime_decimals', fn( $default = 3 ) => 4 ); ``` ([Where can I place filters?](https://tsf.fyi/docs/filters#where)) #### Change the view capability requirement Add this to `wp-config.php` to change the user capability required to view the timer: ``` define( 'GENTIME_VIEW_CAPABILITY', 'manage_options' ); ``` ([List of capabilities](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#capabilities)) ## Àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/33252cd1f33526af53580fcb1736172f06e6716f32afdd1be19ec3096d15dea5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it says on the tin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-on-the-tin-621/)󠁿 [Matt Mullenweg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matt/) Òkúdù 30, 2025 And does it quite well!

Did that PHP 8.2 upgrade change page generation times? Is the server currently bogged down, or am I just impatient? GenTime is so simple and yet so useful. By having basic page generation timer in the admin bar at all times, it really helps to qualify the website speed over time. DonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t underestimate the importance of backend speed. When managing WordPress websites all day, a few 100 ms at every click, makes a difference. GenTime is a stable on the sites I administer now.
