服务器基准测试PHP性能

Question

I have several hosting accounts with different companies, and I'm trying to evaluate which one will run a stock Wordpress installation the fastest (without having to install wordpress on each of them first).

I found a php benchmarking script to try and determine which one would work best and I'm having strange results.

Now on one server I'm getting an average of about 10, and on another 15 (so far so good), but on a third, the average is like 45 seconds. It's strange because that server has a working Wordpress install that runs pretty quickly (about 1.5 second page load times).

My question is, why might this server be showing me such high results, but seems to be working fine? And second, does this mean that this isn't a good method to determine which host would ultimately run Wordpress the fastest (all other things being equal)? And if this isn't a good method, do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

You need to actually install wordpress to know for sure.

I would just edit the index.php file of each and require this file.

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */
require('benchmark.php');
/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

I've done benchmarking for a while and this will give you good information about the current memory usage and processing speed of the server. You could even hit the server with httperf a few hundred times to get TRUE server ability.
