What is the FiveM Profiler?

The Profiler is there to measure the performance of the server, so bad and slow resources can be identified and removed/optimized.

This profiler is integrated in FiveM and can be used with any server.

First you should log on to the server via Icecon, the password can be found in the server settings

After we are logged in, we can now start the Profiler with the following command:

profiler record 25

Then we should wait for about 10 seconds and check whether the profiler is still running:

profiler status

If it says "Recording: No", then the recording is finished and we can now look at the recorded data above the command:

profiler view

We can now open this URL in Chrome or Firefox.

Now we are in the Profiler and can see the performance information, it looks more complicated at the beginning than it is.

We now select a "tick" that consumes a lot of performance:

Now we can see which resources are consuming a lot of time.

info

Resources that consume more than 6 ms in total can cause problems.
