If you have Apache 2 installed, Apache Benchmark is already installed. See
man abon how to use it. In most cases its just something likeWhere
-nis the number of all requests, that should be performed and-cis the number of requests, that should be performed in concurrency.Note, that you don’t test the performance of your php project this way, but test everything, that is affected, beginning with the webserver, PHP, your application, the database, your filesystem, and so on. This means, that if you got poor results, that can also be caused by low memory, or you have just many stuff running in the background, or such. Use a profiler to analyze the performance of a php application. A profiler is built-in within xdebug.
