FAQ
-
How often should I run the server performance tests?
-
We recommend running the tests once a week to track your server’s performance over time. However, you can run them as often as you like, especially after making changes to your server configuration.
-
Will running these tests affect my site’s performance?
-
The tests are designed to be non-intrusive, but they do use some server resources. We recommend running them during low-traffic periods to minimize any potential impact on your site’s performance.
