: How to check VPS is performing optimally? Like for measuring Load time of a website we have Pingdom tools, do we have something similar to measure if the VPS I currently have is good or not.

have something similar to measure if the VPS I currently have is good
or not.


UnixBench is a popular Linux benchmarking script for gathering performance statistics, however, running a benchmarking script may put you at odds with your hosting provider's resource abuse policies and, as you are sharing a server, the resources available to your VPS (especially disk I/O - and even more so if you are using swap) at a given point in time will depend upon what your neighbors are doing.


I have simple one page wordpress website which according to Pingtool
takes approximately 30 secs and then timesout, that's pretty(x 10)
bad. The same website on a different server takes 8 seconds. So I'm
guessing something wrong with the VPS.


If you are running MySQL and Apache with PHP in a 512MB environment without tweaking their configurations to run together in a low-memory environment, the problem is most likely with your configuration.
