Apache, OLS and Nginx-Custom Benchmarks
-
Hi!
in the next days we start testing on 2 of the images we have prepared.
We would like to know what data you would most like to know about their performance.Our testing environment will be:
- 2 Epyc vCore
- 2 GB Ram DRR4 ECC
- NVMe PCI-e 3gen
The app will be tested with 500MB of ram and 500MB of swap.
Our goal is to have similar performance for our image and other WordPress hosting setup available, for this we have plan to test:
- Cloudron standard apache setup (unmanaged)
- OLS app that we have develop erly this summer (will be on the store early December)
- Nginx custom build, with pagespeed mod, and some server side tweak to improve performance.
All 3 with this combination:
- With and without Redis object cache
- We will use one or more cache plugin (which one is your favourite?) to test there performance with this 3 setup.
- Just with server side cache.
If you have any advice on testing tool to use, or other setup for wp to be test just commend, every thought is appreciated.
Matt.

@moocloud_matt it would be interesting to add a few WP WAFs to the mix, like WP Cerber and other WP FWs; to see the impact of having such added vs benefit.

I have used ab extensively for load testing - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-apachebench-to-do-load-testing-on-an-ubuntu-13-10-vps . You can send out concurrent requests easily.

@robi
naxsi is included in our nginx build probably -
@girish ab is great, and jMeter too. Those are the two we use most frequently at work as they're the easiest but also give us the least trouble / cause less issues downstream when load testing (though the products I support at my day job are very complex API Gateways which have a habit of being temperamental lol)
-
Blazemeter makes a really slick tool called Taurus - https://gettaurus.org - which makes using the heavyweight Jmeter miles easier and like 1000x cooler-looking in your shell. Definitely recommend it.

@jimcavoli haha, yeah Blazemeter is a great product and so is Taurus. I actually work for the company that makes it too (though not on their team, I work on another product portfolio in the company), full disclosure.
-
@moocloud_matt Where will you be posting these benchmarks? This is a really fantastic initiative.

@lonk
here below, probably this week, in 2 or 3 days. also I wanted to specify that we will work mainly with Server-Side-Cache apart from OLS which integrates the server side with wordpress.
