Add site profiles so we can make recommendations for a site of that size/type

Site type profiles so we can tailor improvement suggestions

WordPress is used in many ways and the methods that are needed to improve performance vary with the size and type of the site.

Examples:

• An install/site will often start on a cheap shared host with no caching (or just file caching) but at a certain size, an Object cache will be needed to keep for it to keep up.
• A newspaper/blog then is all about page caching

So we should have a framework that allows us to analyze the site load and type and make recommendations as to upgrades/changes needed.

To create a matrix at the plugin level eg. woo vers BuddyPress vers Woo and BuddyPress would be very complex so I am thinking it might be better to analyze the DB rate of change and certain actions (login, comments) eg. lots of new users (woo) but with no logins would be different to a site where users are also logged in (BuddyPress, eLearning)

If we can work out a way to group site types then we can make suggestions that are tailored to that type of site

@pbearne should this issue go within the [Measurement] focus area? If so I'm happy to add it to the Backlog there.

@eclarke1 and/or health reports

We don't have a focus area for Health Report (unless I am mistaken!) so if ok with you I will pop in Measurement for now. Thanks.
