Expedio benchmark
Stock Magento against Expedio on the same server
One real merchant’s store, run twice on one server with no page cache. 162 runs and 487,115 requests on September 28 and 29, 2026.
Faster response time, all page types
Median across the eight page types tested, at peak traffic.
Homepage response time
At peak traffic. Stock Magento took 519 ms on the same server.
More traffic on the same server
Requests a second the server handled before response times started to rise.
Faster with all caches empty
Category pages took 57 ms on Expedio and 181 ms on stock Magento.
Response time, traffic and database queries
Each tab compares the same page types on stock Magento and on Expedio. The response time bars replay every answer four times slower, so you can watch the difference.
Median time to first byte per page type, at the traffic where stock Magento began to strain. Bars replay each response four times slower.
Median time to first byte per page type, at about half of peak traffic. Bars replay each response four times slower.
Highest traffic each build handled without strain, in requests a second. A + means Expedio was not yet strained at the highest traffic tested.
Per request. Empty-cache rows had all caches emptied first.

How it was measured
- Store
- One real merchant’s Magento store on Hyvä, with about 1,000 categories and 20,000 products
- Builds
- Stock Magento as the store runs today, and the same store on Expedio
- Server
- One ReadyMage server. Each build had two physical cores and eight application workers, with the database, search and cache on the same machine
- Page cache
- None. Every request carried a random URL parameter, so no page cache could answer it. Late requests counted as failed
- Rule
- Optimizations that would help both builds equally were not made
- Load
- 50%, 75% and 100% of each build’s limit. Expedio also ran at every level used for stock Magento
- Volume
- 162 runs and 487,115 requests on September 28 and 29, 2026
