Benchmark of Ghost Blog Against Wordpress
This week i was trying to be familiar with node and ghost Blog. Launched a blog in my VPS. I will say Over whelming performance. As you can see i have posted how to install it with Apache server. I will now show you some benchmark report by Apache Benchmark tool. Lets see.
Before going further you need to install apache benchmark or apache utilities tool.
apt-get install apache2-utils
Commands are:
ab -n 100 -c 100 http://domain.com/
It is recommended to give “/” at the end of the domain. -c 100 means concurrent 100 visitors. -n 100 means per user with 100 request. I used this command for both system.
WordPress-3.8.1 (Apache-2.2.22,PHP-5.4.4)
