A comparative analysis of performance optimization techniques for benchmarking PHP frameworks: Laravel and Codeigniter.

Abstract

As web applications grow in complexity, the performance of PHP frameworks is critical for delivering efficient, scalable solutions. This research compares performance optimization techniques in two widely used PHP frameworks, Laravel and CodeIgniter. By benchmarking these frameworks, the study evaluates their effectiveness in terms of response time, throughput, and data processing. CodeIgniter demonstrates lower response times and throughput, making it suitable for lightweight applications. In contrast, Laravel, though slower, offers advanced features and optimization tools ideal for complex, scalable applications. This analysis provides valuable insights for selecting the appropriate framework based on project requirements.
