Testing the three versions of Drupal

By Unmon on 15 Mar 2017 at 02:46 UTC

I tested for speed three version of Drupal: 6, 7 and 8.

Environment for testing:

CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) 
-
 Linux coseven 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 00:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 -
 Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)
 Server built:   Nov 14 2016 18:04:44
 -
 PHP 5.5.38 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2016 12:25:20)
 PHP 7.1.2 (cli) (built: Feb 18 2017 11:22:37) ( NTS ) 
-
 mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.52-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

Program to test: ab from apache
Command: ab-c 100 -n 1000 http://test.fr/node/1

And that's the terrible result:

It's just a terrible shame! Each new version of Drupal is running slower!
You have forgotten how to create a quick Drupal!
So I'm going with Drupal to another CMS.

Shame on you! Shame!!!

Out of the box, they get

Out of the box, they get slower. With caching turned on, they get faster. I've been working with Drupal since version 5, and they have gotten progressively faster with each version.

I just put a Drupal 8 site live last week, and Google is indexing it at longest page load 1.4 seconds, shortest at 0.2 seconds, and the average at 0.7 seconds. I've never gotten any version of Drupal that fast without having to tweak database queries and do some major optimization.

It's the podcast site in my signature, if you want to test for yourself.

This your information is not

This your information is not convincing, sorry.
Do the same tests and show me graphics, please.

Feel free to do so yourself.

Feel free to do so yourself. I've given my observations as someone who has worked extensively with the three versions you mentioned, over the past ten years. You can do what you want with that information, and you decided to not take it at face value. Fair enough. I'm sure whatever CMS you decide to use instead of Drupal will perform faster out of the box than Drupal will. Good luck in your CMS tests.
