Nettingale Benchmark
WordPress performance benchmarking plugin that generates reproducible test datasets. 100% local, zero data collection.
What Makes This Different
Most benchmarks test your server. This tests WordPress.
| Server Benchmarks | Nettingale Benchmark |
|-------------------|---------------------|
| Fibonacci calculations | Real wpinsertpost() calls |
| Generic file writes | WordPress image uploads with thumbnails |
| Generic MySQL queries | WordPress taxonomy queries and meta joins |
| Simulated operations | Actual WordPress functions |
Use server benchmarks to compare hosting. Use this to test WordPress performance with realistic content volumes.
