Re: Does PHP7 really speed up the Internet??
Web developers/server admins who run huge websites with millions of visitors a day are the kind of people who would shout about the differences between PHP 5 and 7 speeds as if they mean something as it determines specs of machines or their cluster size.
For the average Jo, they won't notice the difference at all.
Using a car analogy...only a few people bother making a tweak to their cars to get an extra 2 or 3 bhp/break horse power and even less people will notice or appreciate that extra speed.
The moral of the story is web pages are cars or something.
It's a small part of the big picture. Say a site uses Node and loads that from a different website than the one you are visiting, that will likely make the page load faster than upgrading your php version. THat is why many websites grab many parts of a page from many domains and sub domains generally. Not many people would think of upgrading PHP to version 7 for the speed increase.
