It shows where time and resources are being lost—and exactly where code and server processes can be optimized. Developers use Blackfire to reduce load times, identify bottlenecks, and make their applications consistently faster and more efficient. Perfect for anyone who takes performance seriously. Blackfire is the go-to tool for profiling PHP applications, spotting bottlenecks, and making performance measurable. At b13, we use it to push TYPO3 further—in speed, efficiency, and reliability. ![Logo featuring a stylized flame in red, accompanied by the text "blackfire.io" and the tagline "A Platform.sh product."](https://b13.com/fileadmin/_processed_/a/1/csm_blackfire_07bb2e9137.webp) Our Expertise --------------- We don’t just install Blackfire—we’ve built tools around it. At b13, we use Blackfire to continuously profile TYPO3 projects across all environments: dev, staging, and production. From CLI calls to backend-heavy pages or complex frontend renders, we know where to look and how to act on the results. In addition, our custom **Blackfire scenarios** for TYPO3 allow deep insights into: - Cache usage and fallback patterns - Database query performance and redundancy - PHP-level bottlenecks inside core, extensions, or custom code - Effects of publishing workflows and dynamic content rendering We integrate Blackfire into our client projects, not as an afterthought, but as a core quality metric—right alongside functionality and security. Built for TYPO3 Teams ----------------------- For dev teams, product owners, or infrastructure leads, we help you set up Blackfire the right way—aligned with your stack, access model, and performance goals. TYPO3-specific knowledge makes the difference. We know where TYPO3 gets slow, and we know how to fix it.
