## Description

WordPress Benchmark runs a benchmark test on your WordPress server’s CPU, database
and network speed to give you a measure of how fast your WordPress server is.
 Benchmark
will then send your data anonymously to a central database and will in return get
back the average CPU, database and network benchmarks to show you how your WordPress
server compares against the industry average.

Benchmark is a great way to compare hosting providers and the quality of their servers.
You can use the scores provided to compare CPU speed, network speed and database
speed.

## Installation

To install Benchmark:

 1. Go to your “Plugins” menu and select “Add New”.
 2. Do a search on “benchmark” and you’ll find this plugin.
 3. Select “install” and complete the installation.
 4. Go to the new “Benchmark” menu option that appears and follow the instructions.
 5. Remember that we send your server speed and any review data you enter to our central
    database but the data is anonymous.

## FAQ

  What data do you send to your server about my site?

 * We don’t send your hostname, email or any personaly identifiable information.
 * We send your CPU, database and network speed and any review data that you choose
   to enter.

  Will Benchmark slow my site down?

Benchmark only runs when you choose to run it and will not consume any additional
resources when you’re not running it manually.
 The actual benchmark takes a few
seconds and your visitors won’t notice any difference.
