In the Diagnostics → Performance page you can inspect a statistical measure of the performance of PMA.core. The page displays the average time it takes for PMA.core to serve a request. The page is split in two parts one for hourly averages and one for daily averages.
Those statistical measures are calculated for today, yesterday, two days ago, three days ago, four days ago, a week ago and a month ago.
That way you can inspect the performance of PMA.core over time and visually detect any significant statistical differences in the average or the standard deviation.
