Install

apt-get install siege

Run

siege -b -c 1000 -t 30s example.com

In above command:

  • -c stands for concurrency. We are using 1000 concurrent connections.
  • -t specifies time duration. We are using 30 seconds
  • -b is to run siege in benchmark mode. Without it, siege inserts delay between 2 requests.
