One of the easiest ways is to use the ab benchmarking tool that comes free with apache: ab -n 10000 -c 30 -p post.data http://www.example.com/form.php Sends 10,000 requests to the form, thirty at a time, using the form values held in the file post.data. It'll give you output like this: Server Software: Apache/2.0.53 Server Hostname: www.example.com Server Port: 80 Document Path: /form.php Document Length: 2 bytes Concurrency Level: 30 Time taken for tests: 5.135291 seconds Complete requests: 10000 Failed requests: 0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 2292519 bytes Total POSTed: 1743654 HTML transferred: 20022 bytes Requests per second: 1947.31 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 15.406 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 0.514 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 435.81 [Kbytes/sec] received 331.59 kb/s sent 767.55 kb/s total Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect: 0 3 4.2 3 45 Processing: 5 10 6.4 10 73 Waiting: 4 8 6.1 7 73 Total: 11 14 6.7 13 73 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50% 13 66% 13 75% 13 80% 13 90% 14 95% 16 98% 50 99% 51 100% 73 (longest request) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
