To measure the number of requests a website can handle (known as concurrent requests), you can follow these steps:

  1. Load testing: Use tools like Apache JMeter, Loader.io, or k6 to simulate multiple users making requests to your website simultaneously. This will help you determine how many requests your website can handle before performance starts to degrade.
  2. Server resource monitoring: During load testing, monitor the server’s CPU, memory, and bandwidth usage to identify bottlenecks.
  3. Web server tuning: Adjust the web server configuration to optimize the handling of concurrent connections, such as setting the maximum number of simultaneous connections (e.g., in Apache or Nginx).
  4. Test results: Load testing tools will provide a detailed report that shows the maximum number of requests your server can efficiently handle.
