\"Linux<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether you’re using Linux on a VPS, dedicated server, laptop or desktop pc, this script will benchmark the hardware. It is written in BASH and will benchmark the CPU, memory, hard disk speed and internet connection speed.<\/div>\n
1- CPU: The CPU Model, frequency, number of cores and cache size will be tested<\/div>\n
2- Memory: The total amount of memory (RAM) and swap will be displayed<\/div>\n
3- System: The server uptime will be displayed<\/div>\n
4- Hard Disk speed: The Input\/Output speed of the harddisk will be tested, and the total available disk space will be displayed.<\/div>\n
5- The server’s internet connection will be tested by downloading files across the globe, starting from USA to Europe to Asia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Note: A total of 1GB of data will be downloaded during execution<\/div>\n

<\/a>The script can be found on Github:
\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/etiennerached\/Server-Benchmark-Script<\/a><\/p>\n

To run the script, simply execute the following 2 commands:<\/p>\n

wget https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/etiennerached\/Server-Benchmark-Script\/master\/serverbenchmark.sh\r\nbash serverbenchmark.sh<\/pre>\n
An output example is as follows:<\/p>\n
