Adrien 230 this are the stats from Enhance...

Adrien

kyzoeadmin it's very encouraging to see this.

Adrien

kyzoeadmin Ooops I thought you were on LSWS. I see you run on Apache. All my tests were made using the Enhance Litespeed Enterprise stack.
So, I have redone all of my tests, and it's strange, but the Apache stack on Enhance seems to work better than Litespeed Enterprise regarding performance.
@Adam Could there be an issue with the Enhance LSWS stack? I can sometimes handle over 1900 requests/s using Apache, whereas I get 1500 requests/s on LSWS.

Is it possible that LSWS config is causing this?

Adrien

AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X

There's def something wrong here.

kyzoeadmin

Adrien nope we are on apache, new servers will be maybe on lsws but i am not sure about that we used it on Directadmin, and it is has never been really that much faster.... to be honest and clients are very happy allready. Maybe in a othe rpackage else we stay on pache or nginx when available.

I feel a bit bad sharing this:

We’re currently running on a heavily optimised version of Ubuntu(very, very, very optimised with most of Ubuntu stripped out) on customised(Intel 2.1Ghz) hardware we’ve co-located across 10 locations world wide. We’ve designed everything from metal up to be performance oriented. On that test we had around 195 websites running.

We’ve seen better performance out of Intel than AMD when properly optimised, in addition, we’ve customised a fair bit of Enhance and use NGINX, LSWC drops our score a fair bit. We do however have a custom full page cache running.

Adrien

Zoinkies Wouaww really nice. Thank you for sharing.

Adrien

Zoinkies Would you mind sharing more details on what we should remove from Ubuntu package for best WP performances?

AdamM

Zoinkies How do you get such high php scores only for Intel 2.1Ghz?

AdamM

Adrien
These benchmarks are not reliable and are limited. They only use one core and only test php and the database. The total load on the server should be tested by querying the website. There are many more dependencies. Web Server, Caching, DNS, CDN, mysl cache, server and network throughput and many more.

Example: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16 cores and 32 threads vs AMD EPYC 64 cores and 128 threads, now consider what will handle more of your website traffic. The result is obvious, the AMD EPYC will win.

kyzoeadmin

AdamM Completely Correct

Adrien

AdamM I've explained in my original post that these plugins were limited. If you click on the plugin link, the author explains everything you wrote in detail.
We also added a second test which is the one suggested by @gavin
I thought sharing these results was better than nothing. No?

But if everyone thinks like you that this isn't "reliable" and useless, then let's stop wasting time.

PS not everyone can afford an AMD EPYC 64 cores and 128 threads...

Zoinkies

Forgot to mention, the most I’ve seen with little to no load on that setup was 5600 ish queries per second.

AdamM

Adrien
@Adrien I am sorry if you felt offended. I did not mean to. I apologise.
I will carry out the tests and provide the results as well.

AdamM

it's not great but the results are reasonably satisfactory

Adrien

AdamM Thank you mate! Listen, I'm struggling so much trying to find what can't be found: lots of cores, lots of frequency, and not too much money, that this whole thing is driving me nuts! I'm spinning VMs and BMs all over the place, trying to find the best ones for my future clients, but unsuccessfully. Adam, if you have a link somewhere, I'd like to learn from you how to do the best stress tests.
I heard flood.io was great.

AdamM

Adrien
https://loader.io/
did you check? It is free and easy to use
Also : https://github.com/ddosify/ddosify
Example Using loader.io and simple php website with hello world script my test server with 4 threads handle 1.25M requests per minute without increasing latency.

Adrien

AdamM @Zoinkies @kyzoeadmin

You can connect your results with this table: https://wphostingbenchmarks.com/benchmark/2022-25-wordpress/#WPPerformanceTester

So you know where you stand VS the big names ;-)

AdamM

Adrien
Thx. I check this and let you know 🙂

Zoinkies

Adrien We’re already on there 😉

Adrien

Zoinkies Can you tell? ;-)

Cool script, check what your time is? 🙂
