Apache Benchmark Tool

AB is a versatile tool crafted specifically for benchmarking web servers. Its primary objective is to provide users with insights into the performance of their web server installations. AB accomplishes this by gauging the server’s ability to handle requests, offering valuable metrics such as requests per second served.

To benchmark a web site, use ab command provided by Apache.

[user@server ~] ab -c 200 -n 15000 http://site-to-benchmark-here.com/

This will start 15000 requests to the server specified. 200 requests at a time. Change the numbers higher to add stress or low it.
