wp-xmlrpc-benchmark

This is a home-built tool for benchmarking WordPress XML-RPC and analyzing results.

Usage

1. Make a benchmark configuration. You can refer to sample-config.py as a skeleton.
2. Run benchmark with python benchmark-xmlrpc.py config-file.py concurrent_requests total_requests [log_file].
   • Example: python benchmark-xmlrpc.py site-1-config.py 100 5000
   • Request data are written to log files. If the file name is not specified, a log file in the format log[con_req]-[total_req]-[month]-[day]-[hour]:[minute]:[second] will be generated
   • Errors will be logged to a file with name {log_file}-error
3. Analyze log with python analyze-log.py log_file.

The analysis report is like:
