PHP Benchmarks: 8.4 performance is steady compared to 8.3 and 8.2
Every year, like clockwork, a new version of PHP is released at the end of November. Naturally, you want to know, how much performance gain is in this new release across common frameworks and applications? Our tests show that, in general, the performance between 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 does not move much for a Laravel, Symfony and WordPress demo application. Upgrading to the latest PHP version is not a magic pill to improve performance.
