Perofmance Benchmark
To determine the impact of GD bbPress Toolbox Pro on your website, we have performed the benchmark to measure used PHP memory, page execution time, the number of SQL queries, SQL execution time, the number of loaded scripts and styles.
Disclaimer
Plugin impact on the website depends on many different factors, and times measured in this benchmark will be different for different servers. Page loading time and SQL execution time depend on the server speed, WordPress version, number of active plugins, theme, and other factors. The results of this benchmark are relative to the test server environment.
Benchmark Server
To perform the benchmark, we have used development server running the following software:
- Apache 2.4.18
- PHP 7.0.5
- MySQL 5.5.5
- WordPress 4.6.1
Plugins used for testing:
- bbPress 2.5.10
- GD bbPress Toolbox 4.4.3
The theme used for testing:
- TwentySixteen 1.3
All tests are done using Mozilla Firefox 49.0.2 on MS Windows 10, with browser cache turned off. All benchmark data is collected using GD Press Tools Pro 5.2.2 plugin for WordPress. To get the accurate time for execution and SQL execution, 5 measurements are done and the average value is used.
Benchmark Overview
If you just want to know overall impact of GD bbPress Toolbox Pro, here are the facts. If you want to see detailed results, check out Benchmark results listed after.
These values are calculated based on the difference of the WordPress with bbPress installation, and installation with added GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin. All measurements are done with default GD bbPress Toolbox Pro settings. Depending on the settings, plugin features you are using, the plugin used memory, a number of executed queries and execution time can differ.
Compared to live servers, memory usage and number of SQL queries will remain the same (if used with same PHP), the main difference is execution time, and on the average live server, that time can be 3-4 times lower.
