Description

node-cdn-bench is a small CLI utility written with Node.js that allows for easy benchmarking of file downloads, specifically to test the differences between content delivery networks. It allows you to specify an interval, length of the test and outputs the results to a CSV file.

Installation

npm install cdn-bench

Usage

node cdn-bench \
    --files [file1,file2,...] \
    --interval [seconds between tests] \
    --limit [number of iterations] \
    --out [output filename]

The below command will download each listed file one at a time every 5 minutes for 24 hours.

node cdn-bench \
    --files http://example.com/image.png,http://example.com/image2.png \
    --interval 300 \
    --limit 288 \
    --out results.csv

If you are running these tests on a virtual machine, it is recommend to pair it with something like forever to turn the test into a daemon.
