Benchmarking ------------ [](#benchmarking) ### Setup [](#setup) 1. Either [download](https://github.com/victorjonsson/PHP-Benchmark/archive/master.zip) the library to your server or install it in your project using [composer](http://getcomposer.org/) 2. Include the file init.php in the very beginning of the first file that receives the request to your application (this is usually index.php). Then load the address of your website in the browser with the query parameters `php-benchmark-test=1` and the benchmark data will be displayed in the upper left corner of your website.

You can also call `->run()` to get hold of an object representing the results of the comparison test.
