    Benchmark # 5 | Real World PHP w/ MySQL Test
This benchmark measures the time to load 4 PHP pages of various sizes including MySQL calls in each page. This is a a 'real world' simulation of a dynamic web page like most of those on the web today. Real World tests are one of the most important ways to measure your server performance as they indicate how long someone has to wait for your server to serve them a page. The test pages vary in detail to simulate a real environment. If you have a cacheing system in place on your site, you will see large fluctuations from the first test to the following tests due to cacheing after the first page load. Depending on your purpose for running this benchmark, you might run tests with cacheing off to see the benefit of some tweaks.

 Testing Guidelines:  
  • Always run tests when your server is least busy
    •  
  • Run each test several times and take the best score
    •  
  • Remember to write down any tweaks you make and the date


    • The tests are each run multiple times and the average of each, along with the total is returned. Upon completion you can save your results so that after you make tweaks you can compare between tests.
