Today we released a simple but valuable plugin for our WordPress bloggers and site owners. It’s called simply “Benchmark” and you can find it on the WordPress repository or by signing into your WordPress website and doing a search on the word “Benchmark” on the “Add New” plugin menu.

The plugin is free, open source and is simply a way to find out how fast your WordPress website is compared to other sites.

It benchmarks your CPU and memory, network speed and database queries per second. It then shows you how you compare against the industry average.

This is something we’ve wanted ourselves for some time now, so why not make it free for everyone.

Enjoy!
