Vibe coded a benchmark tool for Shared Hosting

loay

Hey LES,

I vibe coded a single-file PHP dashboard to monitor and benchmark Shared Hosting performance. It’s designed to be lightweight, secure, and zero-dependency.

Repo: https://github.com/loayai/php-hosting-benchmark

Quick Install:
1. Download bench.php.
2. Edit the password inside the file (Security requirement).
3. Upload & Run.

Key Features:

• Zero Installation: Just a single bench.php file. No Composer, no npm, and no CLI access required.
• Secure by Design: The script forces a password change on the first run (it will not execute with default credentials) and automatically cleans up test files after execution.
• Disk I/O Testing: Performs file write and copy operations to verify actual disk speeds, helping identify if storage is slow or heavily oversold.
• Database Performance: Supports both MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite. It measures query throughput (INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE) to simulate real-world CMS loads like WordPress.
• Network & Connectivity: Checks latency to major hubs (Google, Cloudflare) and monitors live RX/TX traffic usage during the test.
• Smart Scoring System: Aggregates all metrics into a single 0-10 score. (9.0+ indicates premium performance, while < 3.0 suggests a heavily oversold host).
• System Information: Displays Server OS, Kernel version, Uptime, PHP Version, and Memory Limits immediately.

Here is what it looks like:

@loay Well done, these are the sorts of projects FOSSVPS is happy to support. Drop me a PM if you would like a free VPS to help with your work.

I'd recommend perhaps integrating the SQL in the benchmark and requiring the host/port/user/db/pass as constants just like the admin user/pass.

The end result looks great! I was a little surprised that it's over 7,000 (!) lines of code, but there are extensive comments, so those add up. Cool idea
