PHP Host Benchmark — Unnamed Host

How to compare hosts: Upload this file to both providers. Run it on each, then use Export JSON to save the results. Paste both JSON blobs into the comparison tool below, or compare the total times manually. Lower is better.

You can label the host via the URL: ?host=HostA

Benchmark results

Fast (good) Moderate (watch this) Slow (concern)

Test	Time	Rating	Notes
PHP baseline (info calls)	0.013 ms	Good	Time to execute trivial built-in calls.
Integer math (800000 iterations)	24.826 ms	Good	Pure CPU: loops, modulo, XOR, bit-shift.
Float math — sqrt/sin/log (800000×)	69.648 ms	Warn	Floating-point unit throughput.
String ops — upper/replace/substr/rev (80000×)	230.992 ms	Bad	Common string manipulation throughput.
Array ops — map/filter/sort/unique (8000× on 1k items)	1.577 s	Bad	Array pipeline performance.
Regex — match/replace on 6 KB text (16000×)	565.076 ms	Bad	PCRE engine speed; relevant for parsing & validation.
JSON encode+decode — 100-item array (16000×)	3.686 s	Bad	Relevant for REST APIs and data interchange.
File I/O — write+read 512 KB × 20	28.743 ms	Good	Disk read/write speed; affects log writes, file caches.
Hash — md5/sha1/sha256/crc32b (80000×)	1.203 s	Bad	Crypto hash throughput; relevant for auth tokens, checksums.
cURL GET — web.pulsepoint.org	439.959 ms	Warn	HTTP 200. Measures outbound network latency + DNS from this host.
Session start + write + close	0.21 ms	Good	Session handler speed; shared-hosting often uses file sessions.
