Given the fast growing demands of the Internet and wide-ranging intranets, it is essentially to fully and deeply understand which factors that mainly a?ect the web servers and how these systems can be designed to satisfy a maximum number of requests per second from multiple users. The paper presents empirical analysis of several popular webservers including Apache,NodeJSandNginXtoprecisely?gureoutthe trade-o? of di?erent software design to tackle the performance bottleneck and resource consuming problems.} }
