Load Tester LITE™
Practically free Load Testing
At the push of a button you can generate up to 1,000,000 virtual users from inside your network to concentrate on server performance by itself, or use the cloud to test the entire application stack, including the firewall and load balancer. Note: cloud load generation from Amazon EC2 is a nominal extra charge.
Just browse your website to record test cases, and up to 1,000,000 virtual users will attack your website to see if it can take the load.
The first thing a professional web performance engineer does is check to make sure there's enough bandwidth availabile to handle the expected load. Load Tester LITE™ will both estimate the amount of bandwidth required based on actual recordings of your site, and then put that to the test by generating enough load to saturate the network.
What does "practically free" mean? If you use your own computers and bandwidth to generate load, then Load Tester LITE™ is provided at no cost.
Generating load from the cloud is a $1/hour/server, and you'll need to sign up for an Amazon cloud account.
"By far the best feature is their support. I have had an engineer call me back in less than 10 minutes with quick answers to problems. They have never, ever let me down. Best support I have ever had."
