Phalcon framework Benchmark Test (Framework benchmarks)

?In the past, performance was not considered one of the top priorities when developing web applications. reasonable hardware was able to compensate for that. however when Google decided to take site speed into account in the search rankings, performance became one of the top priorities alongside functionality. this is yet another way in which improving web performance will have a positive impact on a website.

The benchmarks below, show how efficient Phalcon is when compared with other traditional PHP frameworks. These benchmarks are updated as stable versions are released from any of the frameworks mentioned or Phalcon itself.

We encourage programmers to clone the test suite that we are using for our benchmarks. If you have any additional optimizations or comments please write us. Check out source at GitHub

In the past, performance was not considered the top priority when developing software. High-performance hardware is generally used to supplement the software performance. In this case, as Google lists the processing speed of the site as an important indicator of the site search ranking, performance has become another priority in addition to functionality. Of course there are other ways to improve the website performance. The test below shows that Phalcon can improve the performance more effectively than the traditional PHP framework. These tests are based on stable versions of these frameworks.

We encourage developers to clone the test cases we use. If you have other optimization strategies or other comments, you can write to us.

What test environment? (What was the test environment ?)?

APCIntermediate code cache was enabled for all frameworks. Any Apache Mod-Rewrite feature was disabled when possible to avoid potentially additional overheads.

The testing hardware environment is as follows:

? Operating System: Mac OS X lion 10.7.4

? Web server: Apache httpd 2.2.22

? PHP: 5.3.15

? CPU: 2.04 GHz Intel Core I5

? Main Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz ddr3

? Hard drive: 500 gb sata disk

PHP version and Info:

The APC intermediate code cache is enabled. Mod_rewrite is disabled, which may cause performance overhead.

The test environment is as follows:
