When running the Analyze Site test, you can choose to run the Performance test separately from the Compression test:
Performance Test results - indicate the average improvement achieved by Code Acceleration, Content Caching and the average overall improvement achieved;
Compression Test results - present the improvement accomplished due to the File Compression.
To Analyze a Site:
Go to: Performance | Testing and select the Analyze Site tab.
The following options are presented in the tab:
Run Performance Test
Run Compression Test
Display Previous Test Results
Select the number of scripts to test and press Next.
The following screen lists the scripts selected. To change the number of the scripts to be tested, press Previous. To continue, press Next
The Site Analysis Report appears indicating the Performance Gain and Popularity Rank of the scripts.
N/A Test Results
N/A test results can be caused by various reasons. To check the cause of a N/A test result:
Place the cursor on top of the N/A and the cause of the problem appears in a Tooltip.
N/A can be caused when a script cannot be accessed or if the access time to the script is greater than the test duration (3 sec). If this is the case, test the script separately using the Test URL option.
After analyzing the test results you may wish to modify the caching status of the scripts and re-run the test.
To re-run the test press Edit next to the script you wish to modify, change the caching conditions and save the new settings. If the message appears, the test results are incorrect since the changes you made did not take effect. In this case, restart the server and simulate a typical user session to get valid results.
Press Run Compression Test.
Choose the number of scripts to test and press Next.
To ensure accurate results for the scripts, add query strings in the Script Path entries. For example: /site/example.php?var1=value1&var2=value2).
Press Run to run the test.
The Site Analysis Report screen details the results for the Compression test. The report shows the Original script size, along with the Compressed size and the Compression Improvement rate and the actual compression functionality is not affected.
Note:
If one or more scripts failed the test, an indicative message appears on the screen. The Compression Test failed since Platform Performance cannot resolve the URL from some script paths or the URL cannot be accessed. Note that scripts defined on a virtual host or a symbolic link can cause the test to fail.
The last Test Results summary is displayed in the Testing environment.
To display last Test Reports, click the Show Last Performance Test Report or Show Last Compression Test Report button. The displayed Test Report will be updated as soon as you run another test.
