ApacheBench
ApacheBench (ab
is the real program file name) is a single-threaded command line computer program used for benchmarking (measuring the performance of) HTTP web servers.[1] Originally it was used to test the Apache HTTP Server but it is generic enough to test any web server supporting HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 protocol versions.
