With Serverpilot it’s extremely easy to change the PHP version of your application.
Today I am going to test the latest RC of PHP 7 in this same server using different PHP versions.
I am testing on a very modest server:
- VPS server @ Vultr $5 / month
- 778 MB – 1 Core – 15 GB SSD
- Ubuntu 14.04 LEMP – Mod_pagespeed – APCu
Benchmark tool
I like a lot Siege easy simple and nice report.
apt-get install siege
To launch it
siege -c 5 -b --time=30S https://garridodiaz.com
Will create 5 concurrent jobs during 30 seconds.
PHP 5.6
Transactions: 118 hits Availability: 100.00 % Elapsed time: 29.17 secs Data transferred: 1.84 MB Response time: 1.21 secs Transaction rate: 4.05 trans/sec Throughput: 0.06 MB/sec Concurrency: 4.88 Successful transactions: 118 Failed transactions: 0 Longest transaction: 2.05 Shortest transaction: 0.71
PHP 7 RC 8
Transactions: 277 hits Availability: 100.00 % Elapsed time: 29.49 secs Data transferred: 4.33 MB Response time: 0.53 secs Transaction rate: 9.39 trans/sec Throughput: 0.15 MB/sec Concurrency: 4.95 Successful transactions: 277 Failed transactions: 0 Longest transaction: 0.87 Shortest transaction: 0.40
From this test we see that PHP 7 in this config is more than 2x faster :O good job guys!
