SleekView for Debug Bar: captured panels and add-on data as tables
Debug Bar shows queries, request data, deprecated calls, and add-on panels for the current request. SleekView reads anything your team has captured into a persistent table from those panels and turns it into a sortable triage grid.

Persisted Debug Bar findings, in a real grid
Debug Bar is the original WordPress per-request inspector. Its panels show queries, request data, deprecated function calls, and any data exposed by add-on plugins like Debug Bar Cron, Debug Bar Console, or Debug Bar Slow Actions. None of that is written to a database table by default. The data lives for the request and disappears with the next page load, which keeps the plugin lightweight and out of the way during normal operations.
Teams that want a longer view typically extend a Debug Bar add-on, or write a small companion plugin, that captures specific findings (deprecated calls in admin, slow actions over a threshold, cron events that ran late) into a dedicated audit table. SleekView reads that captured table directly and presents the rows as sortable columns: source URL, panel name, finding type, duration or count, and timestamp.
The grid does not turn Debug Bar into a real-time logger and does not replace the on-screen panel for live debugging. It surfaces what your add-on has already chosen to persist, so a deprecated call captured at 09:14 does not disappear at the next refresh, and slow actions can be counted, sorted, and triaged the same way support handles a ticket queue.

Comparison
Default Debug Bar panel vs SleekView
Default Debug Bar
- Per-request only, panel data does not persist
- No way to count or sort findings across many requests
- Add-on data has nowhere to live unless extended
- No saved view for deprecated calls or slow actions
- Triage relies on screenshotting the panel during the bug
SleekView
- Captured findings with URL, panel, type, and value columns
- Filter by panel, URL pattern, or finding type
- Sort by duration or occurrence count
- Saved views for slow actions, deprecated calls, or missed cron
- CSV export of any filter for handoff to a developer
Features
What SleekView gives you for Debug Bar
Deprecated tracking
Filter to deprecated function calls captured this week and group by function name to count how often each fires. A deprecation that triggers fifty times a day becomes one row with a count, not fifty silent panel views.
Slow action review
Sort logged save_post and other action callbacks by duration. The slowest captured action of the week sits at the top of the saved view, ready for the developer who is hunting a noticeable admin lag.
Cron drift
If your add-on captures missed cron events, surface them as a sortable column with how late each ran. Spot a degraded scheduler before a scheduled email blast or backup quietly stops firing.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Debug Bar
Plugin developers
Review captured deprecated calls and slow actions across a sprint instead of reproducing each request. The grid keeps findings persistent so cross-request analysis stops needing custom SQL.
Site reliability
Pin a missed-cron view to the dashboard as a daily scheduler health check. Recurring drift stops hiding inside one-off panel views and starts looking like a real signal.
QA engineers
Hand a developer a CSV of slow save_post events scoped to one custom post type. The handoff becomes a filtered slice plus an export, instead of asking them to install Debug Bar and reproduce the slowdown.
The bigger picture
Why captured Debug Bar findings deserve a working surface
Debug Bar has been part of the WordPress debugging toolbox for over a decade, alongside its many add-ons that surface queries, slow actions, cron drift, deprecated calls, and add-on-specific findings. Like Query Monitor, it is built for the request you are looking at right now. The panel renders, you read it, you fix the bug, and the next page load wipes the data.
That is the right design for an inspector. It is the wrong design for cross-request analysis, which is exactly what teams need when they want to know whether a deprecated call is firing on every admin page or just one, whether save_post hooks slow under specific custom post types, or whether a scheduled task has been quietly drifting. The fix is not to make Debug Bar heavier.
It is to capture, on your own terms, just the findings worth keeping into a small table and to give that table the working surface it deserves. SleekView is that surface, paired with whatever your team already chose to log, and the result is a per-request inspector that finally has a per-quarter companion.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Debug Bar
Not by default. Debug Bar is a per-request inspector, and its panels render data for the current page load only. Persisting findings across requests requires extending an add-on or writing a small companion plugin that captures specific events into a dedicated table, which SleekView then reads.
No. The grid reads from the audit table your add-on or companion plugin populates. The capture decision stays in your hands, which keeps the table tight and the data trustworthy. SleekView is the surface on top, not the logger underneath.
Yes. Panel name is a first-class filterable column when your capture writes it. Scope to deprecated calls, slow actions, missed cron, or any other panel your add-ons expose, without scrolling through unrelated findings.
Yes, when those values are captured. Most teams record the source URL and the offending component or function name, which lets the grid sort by URL pattern to find the page generating the most findings, or by function to count occurrences.
No. The Debug Bar panel is still the right tool for live, in-request debugging. SleekView complements it by giving the events your add-on chose to persist a queryable surface, useful when the team needs to look across requests rather than at a single one.
Yes. Where your capture records a duration, the column sorts numerically and the slowest finding rises to the top of any saved view. Combine it with a date filter and the worst offender of the day is one click instead of dozens of screenshots.
Yes. Apply your filters, then export to CSV. Visible columns only, which keeps the share-out clean for handoff to a backend developer who is hunting a deprecated call across a specific custom post type.
Yes. SleekView paginates server-side and reads from indexed columns, so a captured table with hundreds of thousands of rows still loads as fast as the underlying query. Add an index on URL and timestamp for the smoothest sort experience.
