YABS is a self-contained bash script that benchmarks Linux servers by running fio for disk I/O, iperf3 for network throughput, and Geekbench for CPU/memory performance. It requires no dependencies or root privileges and can be run with a single curl or wget command.

Use cases

• benchmark a VPS before buying or renting it
• test disk I/O performance on a Linux server
• measure network speed across multiple locations
• compare CPU performance of different servers with Geekbench
• quickly evaluate server performance without installing anything
• check whether a hosting provider's server matches advertised specs

When to choose

• you want a one-command, dependency-free benchmark of disk, network, and CPU on a Linux server
• you're comparing VPS providers or evaluating a new server
• you need standardized Geekbench, fio, and iperf3 results in one run

When to avoid

• you're on a low-bandwidth or metered connection, since default iperf tests saturate the network for ~20s per location
• you need benchmarking on native Windows (only WSL 2 works)
• you need deep, configurable profiling rather than a quick standardized benchmark
• you're on ARM hardware and need fully stable results, as ARM support is experimental
