XHGui Feature Makes Profiling Even Easier The new XHGui feature in DDEV makes profiling (studying a website's performance and bottlenecks) even easier than it was before, with a consistent web interface.

While preparing for a private #drupal training gig, I finally had a reason to play around with the new-ish xhgui integration in #ddev - super cool and so easy to use in a very ddev-y way.

ddev.com/blog/xhgui-f...

xhgui is a nice interface for xhprof - a lightweight PHP performance analyzer.

Whoever came up with the idea of putting "Tip of the Day" in DDEV when you start it is an absolute legend. 😀

I have learned so much about DDEV by reading those tips.

Enhanced Security with DDEV's New `ddev-hostname` Binary DDEV v1.24.7 introduces a new dedicated `ddev-hostname` binary that improves security by minimizing elevated privileges and simplifies WSL2 setup with the new ddev-wsl2 package.

What's that new "ddev-hostname" binary in DDEV v1.24.7? Find out! ddev.com/blog/ddev-ho...
