hosting-benchmark

A full web-hosting benchmark suite

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install hosting-benchmark

Usage

The benchmark consists of two components:

• A server, which is a set of PHP scripts that run the benchmark
• A client, which is a cli (command line interface) tool used to run the benchmark and collect/present the data.

In order to run the benchmark, you need to install the server app. This is fairly straightforward:

• Create a MySQL database on your web hosting, note down the credentials
• Run hosting-benchmark archive to prepare a ZIP archive with the server. You will be asked to provide your database credentials
• Upload and extract the zip package to your web hosting http root directory
• Run the benchmark using:

hosting-benchmark --hostname=https://example.com/ --count=10 --sleep=5 all

To learn what the --count and --sleep flags do, please invoke hosting-benchmark --help.
