Can your site handle visitor traffic while under a heavy load? What is the maximum per visitor concurrency the site can handle? Site load testing helps to determine answers to those questions.
Testing
- Baseline front end multi-page page loading performance
- Page performance testing under simulated load
- Granular load testing to detect degradation of performance
- Server resource monitoring during different phases
Requirements
- A domain – can be a staging or production site
- Staging or non-production sites should be on similar hosting as production
- For membership or sites requiring logins
- A user with an average membership role
- User must have access to the test pages
- SSH server access or metric agents
- Metric agents
- Prometheus
- Zabbix
- or NetData or other near live metric system used
- Metric agents
- If site is on production servers, a set schedule for load testing to limit visitor impacts
Solutions
Each site is unique in where performance bottlenecks. We will create a report that details:
- Baseline page performances
- How much load the site can take
- Optimizations that can help
