Fortune Responses - Web Framework Benchmarks

What is a fortunes response?

Techempower.com uses them to benchmark Web Frameworks. I'm writing about PHP Frameworks and I would like an easy to understand definition of fortunes responses.

You can find details about the benchmark titled Fortunes on relevant techempower's documentation here. They say:

This test exercises the ORM, database connectivity, dynamic-size collections, sorting, server-side templates, XSS countermeasures, and character encoding.

The term fortune that obviously confused you, refers to the database table used in this benchmark:

A Fortune database table contains a dozen Unix-style fortune-cookie messages.

That refers to fortune, a unix application made for a bit a fun as far as I can tell.

You probably shouldn't worry about any of that when writing about PHP frameworks. That's just the a title they picked for their benchmark.
