How it works
We calculate a bottleneck score
Signals are summed and boosted for request volume, since the same issues bite harder at higher traffic.
Get a prioritized fix list
The recommended actions match your risk level, from a periodic review to an urgent indexing and query-batching pass.

Frequently asked questions
Why does request volume affect the score?
A slow query at 1,000 requests/day is a minor cost; the same query at 100,000 requests/day can become a scaling emergency. The volume boost reflects that without needing full query-plan analysis.
Does this replace an APM or query profiler?
No. It's a fast, rule-based check using signals you already know. A dedicated APM or query analyzer will trace bottlenecks to specific queries and execution plans automatically.
What should I fix first?
Missing indexes on high-traffic tables and N+1-style repeated queries are usually the fastest, highest-leverage fixes before touching infrastructure.
