We’ve all had them — nasty bugs hidden deep in the code, causing unexpected behavior or slowing down your site. Tracking down these bugs can be a frustrating process for sure, but with the right tools and a scientific approach, it is possible to greatly improve the speed and efficiency with which you can find and eliminate issues in your code.
We’ll cover a couple of free tools currently available for your development environment, and also briefly cover some subscription offerings that may be useful for obtaining performance data on your production sites. While the tools we cover can be used to track down a variety of code problems, our focus will be on often insidious, hard-to-track, performance-killing bugs rather than the “white screen of death” variety.
