Run a benchmark for 30 seconds, using 12 threads, and keeping 400 HTTP connections open:
wrk {{[-t|--threads]}} {{12}} {{[-c|--connections]}} {{400}} {{[-d|--duration]}} {{30s}} "{{http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html}}"


Run a benchmark with a custom header:
wrk {{[-t|--threads]}} {{2}} {{[-c|--connections]}} {{5}} {{[-d|--duration]}} {{5s}} {{[-H|--header]}} "{{Host: example.com}}" "{{http://example.com/index.html}}"


Run a benchmark with a request timeout of 2 seconds:
wrk {{[-t|--threads]}} {{2}} {{[-c|--connections]}} {{5}} {{[-d|--duration]}} {{5s}} --timeout {{2s}} "{{http://example.com/index.html}}"
