How Fast Does Your Site Serve Pages
Mar 31, 2009
Apache includes a handy little program called ab
You can use this to measure how long it takes a web site to deliver a page n times
I wonder if people would like to state how fast their sites using shared web hosting can deliver simple pages, one in HTML and one in PHP (people can add other scripting languages if they wish.
Please don't post the site name or host name, just the results; I'd be interested in seeing what the range of results is, without getting into debates about hosting sites.
Here are two web pages
hello.html:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world</h1>
</body>
</html>
hello.php:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "<h1>Hello, php world</h1>";
?>
</body>
</html>
Here are the test commands; note I set the concurrency level to 1 ("-c 1"), which gives a more realistic measure of the user response time for low-traffic sites.
html: ab -k -c 1 -n 50 [url]
php: ab -k -c 1 -n 50 [url]
And here are my results:
************** html:
Server Software: Apache/1.3.37
Concurrency Level: 1
Time taken for tests: 6.196 seconds
Requests per second: 8.07 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 123.929 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 123.929 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 3.36 [Kbytes/sec] received
************** php:
Server Software: Apache/1.3.37
Concurrency Level: 1
Time taken for tests: 15.859 seconds
Requests per second: 3.15 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 317.190 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 317.190 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 0.93 [Kbytes/sec] received

I have a laptop which was recently reset to factory default and in the process I lost my ability to run and test my sites locally. So, I installed IIS (it is 5.1) and tested the default pages. So far I am having no luck getting anything but this:

Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance.

We recently began to mirror a large number of open source projects with a dedicated mirror server on our network and I was surprised not only with how popular the mirror server has become, is, but also of the ability of the hardware we're using to keep up with the load.
At an given time, the mirror seems to be pushing at least 50 Megabits of trafficthe server is also an IRC server (irc.igsobe.com) for customers and internal staff communications.
The hardware is a low end Dell Pentium 4 @ 2.66 GHZ server, running with 512MB of RAM and a 400 GB ATA hard drive. CentOS v5.3 is the operating system.
If you're interested, you can view the HTML logfile analysis here but that doesn't tell the full story as FTP users make up a good portion of the traffic. We've received over a quarter million hits in the first few days of November alone.
18:14:15 up 65 days, 9:04, 5 users, load average: 0.31, 0.69, 0.56
The only change that I made to the default configuration was lowering the maximum number of Apache servers to 128.
Just thought I'd share this information as I wouldn't have thought a server with such a small amount of RAM would be able to serve up so much data, even though we are talking strictly static HTML files.
I'll definitely keep this in mind when clients ask me for those "what type of dedicated server should I use for XXX" type discussions that are had all too often with clients.

Starting FILEHOSTING site. Need a Fast server..
I am mostly looking for Unmetered Servers. Like FDC, but their servers are too slow as i heard from some of my friends.
Any other servers that are unmetered and offer good speeds?
I want a shared 100mbit for the start, maybe i will upgrade later.
I currently have 10mbit unmetered, but thats not enough for filehosting sites.

I'm using Oracle's VirtualBox.My network on the virtual box is set to Bridged Adapter
apache/2.4.7
php 5.5.9
Linux/Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
No errors in my apache2 error.log file.
First time creating a server on a virtual box. I am not confident i understand how my computer browser access the virtual box server i created. Once i understand that i could fix my issue. Which is, I can't finding my enabled site or localhost via my browser on my computer. All i get is a white page for both. I don't even see the it works page.
I am following this book and got stuck on chapter 1: Understanding and Setting Up Our Development Environment.
link to book -- URL...
I have installed Oracle's VirtualBox, mounted Ubuntu, installed apache2 with $ sudo apt-get install apache2 -y. At this point everyone says, now go to your ip and you will see "It Works". Which i do not see. I see a white page with nothing on it. I then looked to see if the localhost /var/www/html/ index. html even exists. Which is does, i opened the file and i can see the line "It Works!".
My hosts file on my computer has ../driver/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.56.1 magento.localhost.com
My hosts file on my Virtual box /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

I am moving to a new server. At first the [url]version of the site was fine. I had trouble getting [url]working. Once I had the path to the certificate file correct, I was good to go. So, I started moving data. I also ran some updates on the new server (installed mysql, php, related pkgs). I don't know when the [url]pages stopped working, but I didn't realize it until I had everything moved over and tried to go live. The pages are completely blank. If I view source, I get this: ....

I have installed Apache 2.0.64(Win32) and after repeated tries at adjusting the httpd.conf file, it still is refusing to serve up CGI. So far I have, following the Apache documentation, set my designated CGI directory with AddHandler directive, Option +ExecCGI enabled. Also have added the ScriptAlias directive as per instructions. These directives should work in conjuction with modules mod_alias and mod_cgi, both of which I have made sure were set to be loaded. The log files show no errors. There are no syntax errors being pushed out at start-up. The server stops and starts upon commands, with no problems,
I will post some excerpts from my httpd.conf in the pastebin as soon as it gets up & running--right now the authentication icon is missing.I have Active Perl 5.16 running on this machine, but my Apache download is the binary without SSL and with msi installer.

I plan to build huge image gallery, using lighttpd to server these images. It would be easiest for me to have all these files (more than 1 000 000) in one directory? Is it ok?
I have no idea, if this can cause any problems. Should I part my files into several directories, does it make serving better/faster?

We have a major chunk of our traffic coming in from Asia and our servers are in the US. The latency is an issue which we have sorted out by ensuring we use Amazon's cloudfront CDN atleast for the static images.
Now while this is working rather well, we are now wanting to experiment and see if we could put up an additional image server in our country to serve IPs from that specific range.
In case the local image server goes down, the amazon cloudfront setup should be used. What are the best options for achieving this with the least amount of latency for the users?

when I type in www.facebook.com or www.myspace.com I'm taken to the main page but millions of people do the same thing every day.
I have basic understanding of DNS but only for single servers and small websites. I don't know how these organizations link of the necessary servers so that their website is available to all.

I have a little problem (on my Raspberry) with the maximum concurrent connections.When I open multiple tabs of a webpage which keeps persistent connections, apache is unable to serve more requests.Here is the (shortened) mod_info output (which also takes some time till there is a process kind enough to serve the request):
Code:
Server Version: Apache/2.4.10 (Raspbian) OpenSSL/1.0.1k
Server MPM: prefork
5 requests currently being processed, 9 idle workers
.___W____WWW_..W_...............................................
................................................................
......................
Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req Conn Child Slot Client VHost Request
[Code] ....
When I understood it correctly, apache should spawn new processes (up to MaxRequestWorkers=150)
But there are idle???? processes, so it wont add new ones?
I dont think it has to do with mod_proxy (used for the webpage) since the mod_info output is affected as well...

I am using the latest version of Apache on an Windows XP machine
When my web service is down for maintenance, since Apache is will still be up and running, I would like for Apache to serve an xml file as a response for the appropriate request. I have three operations available, makePayment, calculateFee, and voidPayment.
Is it possible to have Apache determine what type of request is made for example if I have an xml error page for each operation; how will Apache know which xml file to serve based on the operation request from the client
To make it more clear: What is the best practice for modifying apache to know what request is being made in order to serve the appropriate xml file?

I'm setting up a SAAS service which is built on top of Laravel. To put it simply the service itself knows whether its being called from a sub.example.com or just example.com and serves a correct response accordingly. So going to sub.example.com will use the same index.php file as example.com but the routes and controllers within the application will provide a different response. sub.example.com will show a tenant login page where as example.com will show a new tenant subscription page or something else.
So when someone new subscribes I add a new entry to the database with a subdomain name for them and when a request comes from that subdomain and they are logged in it will show them their information. Easy right.
There is a problem though with setting it up with Plesk. When I add a wildcard subdomain, it will look for /subdomains/sub/ for the files which is a bit problematic since I want it to serve the files from the same place as the domain example.com.
Is there a way to configure that so that regardless of the subdomain it will try and serve the exact same content as my main domain?

Is there a webhost fast enough for providing large files (2.5GB +, going up to 10GB + larger) on my website to users worldwide?
At the moment my website is hosted in the UK and it seems to deliver download speeds of around 650kbps if only one person is downloading at a time. I have tried other web hosts, and their download speeds are never advertised, but have turned out to be even less in practise (e.g. 150kbps)
As I'm hosting large files (e.g. 1GB - 2.5GB - 8.5GB or more) on my website, I need something with unlimited speed. i.e. so that the download speed is limited only by the end user's connection.
Is there anything like this out there? I realise the files are very large in size, but I'd rather keep the process electronic than mail out hundreds of DVDs all the time.

I'm planning to host about 10 websites, most of them will be developed on Dotnetnuke (latest version). The most important issue is the speed of the web sites. The pages need to be opened fast. The target audience is located in Istanbul/Turkey, therefore I think the EU-based companies will be better for my requirements.
