Implementing the Performance Lifecycle

The following section provides a detailed instructional overview of performance optimization features and components for implementing the Performance Lifecycle.

Benchmark - Site Analysis

Site Analysis enables to obtain insight into the overall performance of Web applications. Benchmark information provides an initial indication of the Web application’s current performance. This information can be used as a starting point for observing the performance boost gained applying the performance tools. Benchmarking measures Web server performance and durability.

In Platform, Benchmarking is achieved through the Testing screen (Performance | Testing).

This screen includes three options.

The above-mentioned tests analyze an entire site’s performance or monitor a single script. The test results can be further used outside Zend Platform as they can be printed or sent by e-mail.

Notes:

Since testing may take a while to run, it is suggested that you choose only the most recently added files. You may select as many files as you wish; nonetheless this will increase the duration of the test.
Prior to running the Compression Test and in order to ensure accurate results, you may want to add query strings to the script path entries.
When running Performance Tests, query strings can only be added to cached scripts, to check for performance gain.
