How to test my php search engine project ?
Any tool available for that???
I would recommend ySlow which is a firefox plugin found here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yslow/ - will give server side recommendations to speed up your site beyond just network speed tests
As well as Googles page speed which is available as a chrome extension: http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/using_chrome.html - will give server side recommendations to speed up your site beyond just network speed tests
These will answer points 2 & 3
As for point 1: http://browsershots.org/ will show you a rendered version of your site in any os/browser combo you want
As for your server side PHP code there are many commercial audit services or google for online php optimizations which will bring up articles like:

Hope this helps!
Google Chrome can profile your website and offer some basic tips for improving speed alongside a chart showing resource loading times. Hit F12, click Network and reload the page. For an audit, hit Audits and click Run
Test your website in different browsers. There aren't a whole lot of them to try out.
As for "performance", that's a vague term.
