php - Multiple https requests.. how to?

Question

I have an https API URL which I need to run multiple times, and as quickly as possible to check the status of a domain.

How can I run the same URL multiple times concurrently, while receiving the response in output, and closing the finished connection, whilst also keeping memory resources as low as possible?

I was told to use threading in another language (not PHP)?

Any examples or lending hand would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Just did a quick google and came up with this, I believe this will solve your problem - this quote sums it up:

Using the curl_multi* family of cURL functions you can make those requests simultaneously. This way your app is as slow as the slowest request, as opposed to the sum of all requests.
