 You're a DBA, sysadmin, or developer who manages Microsoft SQL Servers. It's your fault if they're down or slow. These tools help you understand what's going on in your server.
 
 * When you want an overall health check, run [sp_Blitz](#sp_blitz-overall-health-check).
 * To learn which queries have been using the most resources, run [sp_BlitzCache](#sp_blitzcache-find-the-most-resource-intensive-queries).
 * To analyze which indexes are missing or slowing you down, run [sp_BlitzIndex](#sp_blitzindex-tune-your-indexes).
-* To find out why the server is slow right now, run [sp_AskBrent](#sp_askbrent-real-time-performance-advice).
+* To find out why the server is slow right now, run [sp_BlitzFirst](#sp_blitzfirst-real-time-performance-advice).
 
 To install, [download the latest release ZIP](https://github.com/BrentOzarULTD/SQL-Server-First-Responder-Kit/releases), then run the SQL files in the master database. (You can use other databases if you prefer.)
