The Performance Check runs a set of timed tests to show how well Jamroom will run on your server. It's useful to compare hosting providers, or to check a server before you move your site to it.
Open it at ACP > Modules > Core > System Core > Tools > Performance Check and click run performance check. Run it at a quiet time: the test loads the server for a short while.
Each test is timed in seconds, and lower is better. Each is shown next to a baseline time:
| Test | What it does |
|---|---|
| Processor | Ten million additions in PHP |
| Database | Creates, updates and searches 2,000 test items |
| Filesystem | Writes and appends to a test file |
The times are combined into one Overall Score, and higher is better:
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| under 200 | Jamroom will run very slowly on this server |
| 200 to 299 | Jamroom is likely to run slowly |
| 300 to 499 | Jamroom may run slowly |
| 500 to 749 | Jamroom may run a bit slower than optimal |
| 750 and up | Jamroom should run excellently |
