It says includes, which i underst[and|ood] as "PHP is in this", which makes it broken. Ok, if one goes and takes that as "This is software written in PHP", then yes, its ok.

Dies hört sich in manchen Ohren langsam an, allerdings wird unsere Geschwindigkeit in der Regel eher gelobt als kritisiert, denn der Upstream kann auch "überzogen" werden, wenn der Server überlastet wird (wurde von uns an Beispielen getestet, ist allerdings nicht 100%-ig zu erklären)."
