<h3>Easy to Use</h3>
No technical expertise or additional software required! All tests run directly within WordPress, using your existing PHP installation. Simply install the plugin, click to run benchmarks, and get detailed results you can understand.
<h3>Make Informed Decisions</h3>
Whether you’re troubleshooting slow site performance, evaluating a new hosting provider, or simply curious about your current hosting quality, this tool provides the concrete data you need to make smart decisions about your WordPress hosting. 
Don’t settle for underwhelming hosting performance. Use WordPress Hosting Benchmark Tool today to discover exactly what you’re getting from your hosting provider.

Hosting Benchmark tool

Excellent

Highly recommend this plugin to get a high level overview of how your WordPress website is working and how good is your web hosting server. It does exactly what it says on the tin without additional bloat. 

The generated results page is an added bonus to be able to share to clients.

CPU performance testing: 
This plugin does various calculations and string manipulations on your PHP webserver 
and your MySQL database server. To further test the MySQL server, a sequence of MySQL 
inserts, selects, updates and deletes are performed in a separate custom database table 
(we do not use your WordPress tables for this).
Network testing: 
The network is tested by fetching directly from Google’s CDN / apis network. Fetching from the Google 
apis network gives you the nearest server, and will give more accurate results. We also fetch a small 1Mb 
file from our servers as well in case the Google apis is down. The network tests are not yet shown in the 
graphs, we are working on this 🙂
Results: 
After the sequence of tests has finished, the results will be displayed for you to evaluate. MySQL results can 
vary depending on the type of connection your webserver has to the MySQL server. If a “local socket” connection 
is used a typical result for the MySQL query test is 0.05-0.25 seconds. Web hosting providers with dedicated MySQL 
servers will show a slower time/queries per second, as a TCP/IP connection to the MySQL server is made instead of 
a local socket connection.
There are many factors that will determine how fast your website will run. This plugin does not test 
for how many hits/requests per second your provider allows to your website, file system performance is not tested 
either. Use it as a performance test to assess how fast a CPU your provider has allocated to your webserver 
and your MySQL database backend.
Share with your friends, let’s start a competition and see who’s got the fastests servers (hint) 🙂

PHP/MySQL CPU performance statistics

Benchmarks PHP and MySQL and does various performance analysis on these. Especially MySQL analysis is good.

In general benchmarks are short, but quite informative.

Works well and does various important tests

I had to measure the performance of my two local machines (a laptop and a desktop). This plugin came in handy to do exactly that. I only wish that there was a way to export the results for future ref!

Handy

With the performance test plugin you can test the CPU and MySQL speed on your webserver and your MySQL server.
