Re: Does PHP7 really speed up the Internet??

OK so the thing with php is that it isn't a webpage, it is a script that produces a webpage.

When you ask for a php page:
Step 1: your web browser connects to the server, it asks for the php page.
Step 2: Your web browser then waits while the server runs the php script (time depends on how faster the server is).
Step 3: The server then sends the resulting page (time depends on the speed of your internet connection).
Step 4: Your web browsers draws it on your screen (speed of your computer).

Speeding up the php will only speed up stage 2 where the server is preparing your page.
