PHP vs Node.js

PHP is comparatively slower than the Node.js due to its synchronous nature. The code lines are executed each by its line, but not at the same time. This is why, while the first line of code is being executed, the second line of the code requires to wait until the first code is completed.

Node.js Javascript runs through entire code and does not wait for a function and this is why, node.js is faster than PHP.
