Using the ab utility you are able to test your current version of apache and how well it performs to multiple requests for even a set amount of time.
It’s not hard at all to use this utility. All you need to do is the following:
ab –n 100 –c 10 http://domain_to_test_with_ab.com/index.php
What we’re doing above is sending 100 requests to the index.php file of that domain in increments of 10. This means that site will receive 10 new requests at a single time until 100 total requests has been reached.
There are a variety of other flags you can use alongside –n and –c, and you can get a full list by using:
man ab
Let me know if you have any questions below.
