I would love to be able to enable profiling of a site from the Local dashboard. It should:

- Enable [Xdebug profiler](https://xdebug.org/docs/profiler)
- append XDEBUG\_PROFILE=yes to URLs
- Add a link to [Webgrind](https://github.com/jokkedk/webgrind) in Utilities

Awesome idea! Thanks for the feedback.

This would be a great add-on idea if anyone wants to give it a go 😃
