mod_php vs php-fpm Performance Benchmark [Surprising Results]
Have you ever wondered if Apache mod-php is faster than php-fpm with Nginx? I surely did.
Each time this question arises, I do a quick research, and I cannot seem to find a definitive answer. It seems that the recommended way to run PHP websites nowadays is to use php-fpm with Nginx, but is that the best method? Some articles state that php-fpm is 300% faster than mod-php, other articles state that mod-php is faster, and so on.
This is why I've decided to conduct my own tests and performance benchmark and settle this debate once and for all.
The result surprised me.
