if you are using apache it comes with a benchmarking tool called ab. this is great because it tests by just running queries for a single page over and over again.

to see the size of the page. try using the wget command to pull down the page locally. If it is a php script then log on to the server hosting the script and check the size by using the ls -alh command.

Not that I know of. This guy has done a great job of explaining how to use the ab command. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-...eb-server.html

After doing some thinking look into nagios. While it does more than just web monitoring I remember my nagios book talking about monitoring applications and can give information about how many requests the server has had and other performance information. I will also try and look around for other applications.

Ok I did a quick search and found that apache has a apachetop command which can monitor only one virtual host at a time. There is also an access.log file , and last but not least apache has a real time monitoring module called mod_status. One of these should be able to get you the number of page requests and page serving times I would think.
