It is one of the easy features to enable in Sitecore and a quick win if you enable this in your Sitecore clients. Let’s start with a definition from Sitecore:

What is it?

A browser-based debugger that opens in a new browser tab which allows you to see a breakdown of the rendering process the page went through with some useful information such as duration and items accessed that is useful for diagnosing which renderings are taking a long time.
