## What it is
A curated collection of Linux server benchmarking scripts and command-line tools for testing CPU, disk I/O, memory, and network performance on servers and VPS instances. It aggregates tools like bench.sh, nench, UnixBench, fio, and sysbench with usage instructions.

## Use cases
- benchmark a VPS before or after purchase
- test disk I/O speed on a Linux server
- measure network throughput from a server
- compare CPU performance across hosting providers
- diagnose whether slow app performance is caused by hardware or network bottlenecks
- quickly check system info and performance of a remote server

## When to choose
- you need a quick, one-liner performance check of a Linux server or VPS
- you want a curated list of proven benchmarking scripts instead of hunting for them
- you're comparing hosting providers and need comparable CPU/disk/network numbers

## When to avoid
- you need deep, configurable profiling or continuous performance monitoring
- you're benchmarking non-Linux systems like Windows or macOS
- you need a formal benchmarking framework with result storage and regression tracking

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: benchmarking, monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: performance, operating-systems
- platform: cli
- tags: vps-benchmarking, shell-scripts, system-performance, curated-list, server-administration, command-line, devops, linux
