<p>WPPerformanceTester was written as a tool to benchmark WordPress in the <a href="http://reviewsignal.com/blog/2015/07/28/wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2015/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Hosting Performance Benchmarks (2015)</a> by <a href="http://reviewsignal.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Review Signal</a>. Current benchmarks are on <a href="https://wphostingbenchmarks.com" rel="nofollow ugc">WPHostingBenchmarks.com</a>. It was designed to test the server’s performance by stressing PHP, MySql and running $wpdb queries.</p>
<p>WPPerformanceTester performs the following tests</p>
<ul>
<li>Math – 100,000 math function tests</li>
<li>String Manipulation – 100,000 string manipulation tests</li>
<li>Loops – 1,000,000 loop iterations</li>
<li>Conditionals – 1,000,000 conditional logic checks</li>
<li>MySql (connect, select, version, aes_encrypt) – basic mysql functions and 5,000,000 AES_ENCRYPT() iterations</li>
<li>\$wpdb – 250 insert, select, update and delete operations through \$wpdb</li>
</ul>
<p>It also allows you to see how your server’s performance stacks up against our industry benchmark. Our industry benchmark is the average of all submitted test results.</p>
<h3>Notes on Performance</h3>
<p>Performance can be measured in a lot of ways. WPPerformanceTester was simply one component of a much larger performance benchmark. It tests a single server (or node) that it is running on. So if you’re considering looking at the results from a clustered or distributed setup, it may give you limited insight into how well your whole system performs. WPPerformanceTester is about the raw speed a system has to execute code and perform database operations.</p>
<p>Real website performance isn’t always correlated with raw speed. A seemingly slow website could have a very fast WPPerformanceTester result. There are lots of layers (namely caching) in making a WordPress website fast. A good caching layer will almost always outperform computing power. But when the caching layers are equal, raw speed can make a difference.</p>
<p>WPPerformanceTester is simply one tool to add to your toolkit in measuring performance. You should have a variety of others to test other facets of performance.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<p>If the script times out (max_execution_time limit) it will not show any results. You can solve this by increasing the max_execution_time in the php.ini. Some plugins may also cause WPPerformanceTester to run exceptionally slow and make it more likely to hit this limit. One such plugin is VersionPress. You can temporarily disable plugins that might be interfering with it as an alternative way to run it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It’s always best to <strong>BACKUP EVERYTHING</strong> before running <strong>ANY</strong> new plugin or making changes to your WordPress install.</li>
</ul>

<h3>WordPress Speed Benchmark and Testing</h3>
<p>Test and benchmark the speed of your hosting provider, based on the speed of their mysql database, which tends to be the main cause of WordPress being slow on some hosts. A score of less than 40 is bad and a score of more than 100 is very good. Scores will be reported to our server in future versions so you can compare speeds with others.</p>
<h3>Add/Upload Zip</h3>
<ol>
<li>Upload the <code>superhostspeedbenchmark.zip</code> file via the Add Plugin option</li>
<li>Activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to “after activation” below.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Manually</h3>
<ol>
<li>Upload the <code>superhostspeedbenchmark</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>Go to “after activation” below.</li>
</ol>
<h3>After activation</h3>
<ol>
<li>Goto Tools/Speed Benchmark , the test will run immediately and show your score. It takes about 20 seconds.</li>
</ol>
