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.
WPPerformanceTester performs the following tests
<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>
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.
<h3>Notes on Performance</h3>
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.
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.
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.
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
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.
<blockquote>
Note:
<ul>
<li>It’s always best to BACKUP EVERYTHING before running ANY new plugin or making changes to your WordPress install.</li>
</ul>

WPPerformanceTester benchmarks your server's performance through a variety of PHP, MySql and WordPress tests

This plugin will record the performance of your wp Hosting company.
Ever noticed your site seems to perform OK when you check, but other folk say its slow later. Like gremlins are getting in and making it slower ?
It’s often difficult to know how your wp web site is performing, and how real end users are experiencing the performance of your wp web site.
This plugin will display graphs of the performance of the server (so you’ll be able to see what the gremlins are doing).
It also tracks performance of the web page load speed, which includes all the assets jpg/png/css/js.
You’ll be able to view graphs for different periods of time, to see how your server is performing, and how real world users are observing the performance of your wp site.
You’ll be able to observe when the server is sluggish, or when it is fast.
It is designed to run async, so any performance hit is after the end user’s web page has finished loading. This should result in no impact to your WordPress website delivering pages.
It also has a feature to email you when the server response becomes unacceptably slow.
New Features 
– ability to load test your WordPress website – see how many visitors you can comfortably accommodate. 
– ability to benchmark your current hosting against other hosting companies 
– technology index – to give you an idea of how good/poor the technology your WordPress site is running on 
– artificial benchmark of php and mysql (on the sysinfo page for now). 
– php and technology index on the hosting comparison pages. 
– bot analysis – how much resources are bot consuming ?
