This repository contains a script to test HTTP GET requests or command line calls.
You can install this package using Composer:
composer require --dev quillstack/benchmark
In PHP console you can use this library by running commands:
If you installed this library as a package in your project, you can run these commands:
./vendor/bin/benchmark
./vendor/bin/benchmark benchmark:http:get https://example.org 10 2
./vendor/bin/benchmark benchmark:console "php ../test.php" 10 2
If you cloned this repository to your local computer, use these commands:
./bin/local
./bin/local benchmark:http:get https://example.org 10 2
./bin/local benchmark:console "php ../test.php" 10 2
To see detailed descriptions for every command, ready Bash usage below.
You can also use Bash commands to run benchmarks. These commands work only if you clone this repository to your computer or server.
Usage:
./http_get.sh https://example.org 10 2
Where:
- 10 is a total number of requests
- 2 is a number of concurrent requests
Output:
10 requests, 2 concurrently
URL https://example.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Took 2.468000 s, 4.051864 requests per second, 0.469415 avg req time
What means we sent 10 GET requests to this host. We decided to send two requests at the time. The entire test took around 2.5 seconds. It means the website could server 4 requests per second with 0.5 seconds the average response time.
If you want to test command line calls, be sure every call respond with an execution time (in seconds):
0.001699
For PHP the script could look like:
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
$start = microtime(true);
$container = new Container();
$service = $container->get(ExampleService::class);
$time = microtime(true) - $start;
$roundedTime = round($time, 6);
echo $roundedTime . PHP_EOL;Usage example:
./command_line.sh "php ../test.php" 10 2
Output:
10 calls, 2 concurrently
Command `php ../test.php`
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Took 0.247000 s, 40.485830 calls per second, 0.001087 avg call time
The results say we called the script 10 times with 2 concurrently calls. Our test took around 250 milliseconds, what means we could call this script 40 times per seconds, and average call time would be 1 millisecond.
You can have different results for different parameters. For example the results for the same script:
./command_line.sh "php ../test.php" 1000 100
are different for these parameters:
1000 calls, 100 concurrently
Command `php ../test.php`
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Took 7.760000 s, 128.865979 calls per second, 0.080927 avg call time
Because we increased the number of concurrent calls.
If we use the same concurrent calls like in the first command line example:
./command_line.sh "php ../test.php" 1000 2
The results should be similar to the first ones:
1000 calls, 2 concurrently
Command `php ../di/public/index.php`
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Took 22.795000 s, 43.869270 calls per second, 0.001178 avg call time
What gives use around 40 calls per second, if we have two concurrent calls.
