How to check performance of a dedicated server?

[harrygreen90]

Hi,

I wanted to check the performance a dedicated server which a hosting provider offering me. It has linux operating system with webmin control panel.

I don't have more knowledge of Linux, could anyone help me how to check the performance of the server. I want to know about the load time, speed at in any countries, test capacity if it has large of visitors.

Simply, just go to [URLnofo]http://serverbear.com/[/URLnofo] and take a "Run a Benchmark" and then you will recive a email with info.

Are there any way to do it myself without using tools out there?

For example I want to check from command line.

Using Serverreview Benchmark Script v2

You can check by server performance by

Download

wget https://git.io/bench.sh && chmod +x bench.sh

Check system information

./bench.sh -info

I/O Test

./bench.sh -io

CDN Download (200MB)

./bench.sh -cdn

and much more.

Well, in terms about load time and speed you could use the following tools:

[URLnofo]http://www.webpagetest.org/[/URLnofo]
Note these test the loading time of your website.

There's a detailed answer for the latter part of your question [URLnf="http://serverfault.com/questions/350454/how-do-you-do-load-testing-and-capacity-planning-for-web-sites"]here[/URLnf].

You should follow guides from this post https://forumweb.hosting/6936-how-to-check-your-vps-performance.html
If you run commands from SSH to check server performance, you should already have an existed server to compare.

A benchmark test should do the trick for you. You can find them online.
