This is a link to a blog post to perform a performance test  Drupal 8 written by Darrell Ulm   in May 2016 that walks through how to run a Drupal 8 performance test using Drush and the Drupal site_audit module.

Many major Drupal hosting platforms offer similar reporting features, but having this tool available locally or on...
