10 years ago, Benjamin founded Tideways with a clear goal: support PHP developers and help build faster, more reliable websites. Since then, more than 2,000 customers have used Tideways to gain better visibility into their PHP applications.
Seeing that web applications are slow without understanding why sparked an idea for Benjamin, that ultimately led to the creation of Tideways. A Profiling tool that makes performance issues visible, understandable, and actionable.
Built specifically for PHP, Tideways integrates with popular e-commerce platforms and frameworks. It fits into real-world stacks without friction and delivers performance insights teams can act on immediately.
From day one, Tideways has focused on one thing: understanding why applications slow down and enabling teams to address those issues efficiently. That focus still shapes the product today.
Behind Tideways is a small, dedicated team working closely with customers. We value honest communication, practical solutions, and continuous improvement. Most importantly, we build a product you can rely on: in production, during peak traffic, and over the long run.
Ten years in, Tideways remains driven by the same curiosity, care, and passion for performance that sparked its creation.
We’re looking forward to what the next decade will bring!
p.s.: Just in time for our anniversary, a little elePHPant joined the team.
