benchener

benchener is a high-performance HTTP benchmarking tool developed in Rust. Built on the isahc crate, it supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2

Usage

benchener -n1000 -c100 -t2 -s https://www.nayaraasta.com

This command:

• Sends 1,000 requests to https://www.nayaraasta.com
• Sends 100 requests concurrently
• Uses 2 threads
• Displays a summarized output

Note: The actual thread count will exceed the specified number because isahc spawns 2 extra threads, and 1 thread is used for timing. The value set by -t is passed to worker_threads() in the tokio::runtime::builder

Output

Sending 1000 request(s) to https://www.nayaraasta.com
using 2 thread(s) and 100 connection(s)
Please be patient..
Completed requests: 1000
