I built the fastest PHP webserver in the world

A developer created a pure-PHP webserver that outperforms competing solutions like Swoole and FrankenPHP by using process forking with copy-on-write memory optimization to run thousands of lightweight workers instead of a limited pool. The single-file server achieves 14× higher throughput than PHP-FPM by allowing many workers to block on I/O simultaneously, requiring no extensions, Docker, or code modifications to run existing PHP applications like WordPress and Laravel.
