In today’s dynamic world, time is the most critical aspect for any business person. Whether it’s deciding to trade off or launching a new product, reaching the customers within the least possible time filter you from the majority crowd. How much your customers wait for your website to load? 5 -seconds? 10 seconds? Probably not more than that! And in the end, the client leaves the website heavy-heartedly and downvotes the user experience. In this article, we’ll show some performance test results of our site NiHao cloud using some simple steps.
We’ve taken curl (a powerful command-line tool to transfers data from or to a server) and using Linux based operating system. The steps would be nearly the same with another os as well. In addition, we will use time-related variables and test the same with 2 different networks.

Demonstration:
- Create a file which has arguments that curl command takes:
time_namelookup: %{time_namelookup} time_connect: %{time_connect} time_pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer} time_starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer} ——— time_total: %{time_total}
- Here, time_namelookup – time, in seconds, it took from the start until the name resolving was completed.
- time_connect – time, in seconds, it took from the start until the TCP connection to the remote host (or proxy) was completed.
- time_pretransfer – time, in seconds, it took from the start until the file transfer was just about to begin.
- time_starttransfer – time, in seconds, it took from the start until the first byte was just about to be transferred.
- time_total – total time, in seconds, that the full operation lasted.
- Now use this file and make curl request to the target website:
Command: curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o /dev/null -s http://app.nihaocloud.com
Here, -w @”curl.txt” tells to use the mentioned file. –O option redirects the output to /dev/null and –s suppresses the progress bar. The target website is http://app.nihaocloud.com
Result 1: Using the wifi connection:
The results of the performance test below are in the Seconds unit and measured from the Indian region and connected to the servers in Korea.

Result 2: Using the Mobile Network

We at NiHao Cloud always try to give the best services to our clients and results are mirrored above. Stay tuned for such interesting articles and the best services.
