Speeding up the Web with PHP 7
summary
Claims PHP 7 doubles real‑world throughput — 100%+ performance gains on real apps — while cutting memory and instruction counts; array append memory drops from 43 to 6 bytes and WordPress latency halves. Adds a persistent file‑based opcache (about 4x faster on restart and 10x faster from shared memory), an AST that enables static analysis (example static checker “fan”), scalar return/types, null‑coalesce and spaceship operators, exceptionified fatals, 64‑bit Windows ints, and FDO profiling to build site‑tuned PHP.
