It looks reliable

I don't know how accurate it is, but results are quite consistent. I'm using it to evaluate several VPS.
Very happy user

This benchmark test is a very useful addition for our wordPress hosting services. We used it many times to define the best WP-hosting mix. As a result, it increased our knowledge and profitability.
Working...

Not worth the experiment

Test couldn't complete, benchmark fail after fail, then it says 'stopped', yet my server resources continued to be tested. It got to 62% complete and stopped with no results of what it did complete. Had to manually kill the sql PID that was still running long after the test stopped testing. Left my database corrupted and have to manually clean up the mess it left. Thanks. Good thing it was just a test site.
Excellent

Misleading results
By (arekm) on March 29, 2024
This plugin can be useful but it has tons of issues (was looking at database part only):
- it totally forgets that network latency between php host and mysql host exists throwing everything into "mysql" bag. It works by doing hundreds of queries where latency adds up causing bad results. Real web pages usually don't do hundreds of requests for single visitor entry. You can have very powerful sql hardware that will show up poorly in this benchmark while being great in real scenarios.
- It does artificial queries that are rarely done in real word like not using indexes, ordering by rand().
- Scores are based on results stored on plugin creator server which means that they change (as others are doing own testing and creator is adjusting these) and are not comparable between even own machines if done in some time range. Simple time reports for user own needs (beside "scoring" would be a great addition).
- "complex test" not only tests joins but also cpu power because it uses a bit of... MD5().
- it lack documentation of all such nuances
This plugin has some usage but it won't give you any real knowledge on your sql server capabilities or which parts of your db setup are weak.
