How to Use

1. Console Command (CVar)

The quickest way to check performance on the fly is using the built-in Console Variable. Open the UE5 console (` key) and type:

• Show Stats: PerformanceMonitor.ShowStats 1
• Hide Stats: PerformanceMonitor.ShowStats 0

2. Widget Blueprint

For custom UI layouts or shipping builds where the console is disabled:

1. Search for WBP_PerformanceWidget in the plugin's Content folder.
2. Add it to your viewport via your HUD or Player Controller Blueprint using the Create Widget and Add to Viewport nodes.
