PHP Speed Boost: Open Swoole Crushes Node.js and Go!

PHP, often criticized for its speed, gets a major boost using asynchronous runtimes like Open Swoole. A basic PHP script benchmarked at 630 requests per second jumps to nearly 30,000! This performance significantly surpasses Node.js (7,500 requests per second) and Go (12,000 requests per second) in the same test. The key is enabling concurrency, allowing more processes to happen simultaneously. This transforms PHP into a microsecond-response powerhouse, challenging its 'slow' reputation.

Demystifying Localhost: A Deep Dive into Networking Magic

Localhost, often taken for granted, is a networking tool vital for developers. It bypasses DNS, routing requests directly to your machine via the loopback interface (127.0.0.1). The host file maps names like "localhost" to this IP. Crucially, it facilitates local app testing, API debugging, and secure sensitive application testing without internet dependency. While IPv4 and IPv6 address internet devices, Localhost remains a machine's private testing playground, looping requests back efficiently.
