vibe coded a single-file PHP dashboard to monitor and benchmark Shared Hosting performance. It’s designed to be lightweight, secure, and zero-dependency.
Repo: https://github.com/loayai/php-hosting-benchmark
Quick Install:
1. Download bench.php.
2. Edit the password inside the file (Security requirement).
3. Upload & Run.
Key Features:
- Zero Installation: Just a single
bench.phpfile. No Composer, no npm, and no CLI access required. - Secure by Design: The script forces a password change on the first run (it will not execute with default credentials) and automatically cleans up test files after execution.
- Disk I/O Testing: Performs file write and copy operations to verify actual disk speeds, helping identify if storage is slow or heavily oversold.
- Database Performance: Supports both MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite. It measures query throughput (INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE) to simulate real-world CMS loads like WordPress.
- Network & Connectivity: Checks latency to major hubs (Google, Cloudflare) and monitors live RX/TX traffic usage during the test.
- Smart Scoring System: Aggregates all metrics into a single 0-10 score. (9.0+ indicates premium performance, while < 3.0 suggests a heavily oversold host).
- System Information: Displays Server OS, Kernel version, Uptime, PHP Version, and Memory Limits immediately.
Here is what it looks like:
