AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
PHP Vitals is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Performance category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How fast is your web host? Dozens of PHP speed tests, 1 overall grade: The easy way to compare hosting performance.
Bringing Transparency to Your Web Host’s PHP Performance The faster your websites run, the better. Better SEO, better UX, better returns on your effort. But in any PHP-based system (including WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, and many others) there’s an important performance factor that’s hard for you to see and mostly beyond your control. It’s your web hosting. How fast does PHP run on the infrastructure that your web host provides?
PHP Vitals gives you a simple way to find out.
A Free, Quick and Easy Speed Test In a minute or two, PHP Vitals analyses exactly how well your server performs on dozens of different tests of PHP performance. When you run PHP Vitals you’ll see an overall grade, and you can see where your web host belongs on the PHP Vitals leaderboard.
You can’t see your server hardware. You don’t know how many others are sharing your resources. You don’t know if your hosting is rate-limited, over-provisioned, or dependent on ancient CPUs. PHP Vitals lifts the lid on what you’re really getting for your money.

Features PHP Vitals suite of PHP performance benchmarking tests usually takes only 1-2 minutes to run. The tests give you live performance data.
Each time you run PHP Vitals you’ll see a breakdown of individual test data and an overall grade (A+ to F). Test data is objective, for example the time taken for each test. Grades are based on the overall time taken. The subjective grading scale is likely to change over time (e.g. an A in 2025 is unlikely to still be an A in 2027).
With the option to submit test results to the PHP Vitals leaderboard, you can let developers around the world see a summary of your results, and the hosting provider that it came from. Sharing is optional and no personal data is collected, shared or stored.
PHP Vitals data is presented through a beautiful and responsive admin interface. Run and share tests on demand, and build up a history of performance grades over time.
Usage on WordPress PHP Vitals is very straightforward. Install the plugin, open “PHP Vitals” from the main menu in your WordPress admin dashboard, and click “Run Benchmark”.
External services This plugin connects to PHP Vitals to compare the user’s benchmark test results (This is an optional service).
