Your site has a breaking point. Load test to find it before your users do.
Don't crash in a traffic spike! Load test your site with thousands of bots to detect bottlenecks, improve performance, and prevent downtime.
Loadster is your load testing tool for modern websites, web apps, and APIs
Every site, application, or API has its breaking point. Yours might be fast and functional most of the time, only to crash under heavy traffic.
Downtime at the worst possible moment, like during a public launch or a marketing campaign or unexpected traffic spike, costs you lost business and hurts your reputation.
Load testing (or stress testing) your site is the best way to prepare for peak traffic and prevent site crashes, and Loadster helps you do it in less time.
Ready to get started? Launch your first test in minutes, creating realistic scripts and simulating thousands of concurrent users from your choice of cloud regions.
Prevent crashes and downtime by simulating peak traffic conditions
A flood of traffic to your site is a valuable opportunity... as long as the site stays up and delivers a fast experience.
But if your site crashes or gets unusably slow, you'll waste the traffic, lose the opportunity, and damage your reputation.
Load testing helps you prepare your site to handle heavy traffic, and Loadster makes it easy to get started.
If you're ready, please try Loadster with a free account or read our short Introduction to Load Testing for a little more background.
Load test with real Chrome browsers or automated HTTP clients
Browser Bots control real headless Chrome browsers, for the most realistic load testing possible. Automating thousands of real browsers is the ideal way to stress test your web apps and modern websites.
Protocol Bots execute scripted HTTP/S requests against your API or static website. Testing at the protocol layer is cost-effective and scales to hundreds of thousands of bots.
Realistic scripting, distributed load tests, and actionable test results
-
Rapidly create your test scripts
Record load test scripts right in your browser, with the Loadster Recorder extension for Chrome or Firefox. Just step through your site like a real user would while Loadster records every step into a script. After recording, play your script back in real time, and edit it if necessary.
It's simple to add custom validation and capture server responses to reuse later in the script. Not powerful enough for you? Try JavaScript Code Blocks for advanced control flow, looping, and conditionals.
-
Launch distributed cloud tests in seconds
Configure your test scenario with groups of bots in regions of your choosing, running your scripts, ramping the load up and down, to simulate the geographically distributed traffic you see in the real world.
Loadster's got what you need to run globally distributed cloud tests with minimal setup. No need to deploy your own instances to run test infrastructure! In about 90 seconds, Loadster can launch tens of thousands of bots across hundreds of cloud instances in regions of your choosing.
-
Analyze results with quick reporting
While a load test runs, Loadster gives you realtime metrics on response times (average and percentile), network and transaction throughput, errors, and more.
After it finishes, the same data is instantly available in a test report you can hold on to or share with your team.
The metrics and report data inform you how your site handled the traffic, what kind of performance your real users can expect when the site's under a similar amount of load, and where the hot spots and bottlenecks might be.
