Drupal multisite vs single site performance on Debian
Posted on 4th August 2010 in Drupal | No Comments »
The following benchmark proves that a traditional single site Drupal setup isn’t any faster than its multisite counterpart.
Tested setups:
- Single site installation of Drupal 6.17 from Drupal.org
- Multisite installation of Drupal 6.6 from Debian Lenny. Although there’s a version difference and Debian’s release lags behind by a number of versions, it has the latest security patches applied.
Benchmark data by ApacheBench as per commands:
ab -n 100 -c 10 http://drupal_single_site_address.tld-
ab -n 100 -c 10 http://drupal_multisite_address.tld
Setting up a gallery in Drupal may easily turn into a lot of hassle. While Drupal is one of the most flexible Content Management Systems out there, it’s also one of the most complex on top of million modules for pretty much everything including the functionality for the simple gallery.
