-c
(concurrency): Number of multiple requests to perform at a time. Default is one request at a time.
-n
(requests): Number of requests to perform for the benchmarking session. The default is to just perform a single request which usually leads to non-representative benchmarking results.
-k
: Enable the HTTP KeepAlive feature, i.e., perform multiple requests within one HTTP session. Default is no KeepAlive.
