Traffic Test to Your Page

Send controlled traffic to test your website's performance, CDN caching, load handling, and infrastructure limits. Find breaking points before customers do.

You don't know how your site handles real load until you test it. This actor sends realistic, distributed traffic to your domain and measures how it behaves: response times, throughput, error rates, CSS/JS loading, image optimization, CDN effectiveness, and infrastructure bottlenecks. Identify breaking points, validate CDN config, and optimize before traffic spikes.

🎯 Use Cases

  • Pre-Launch Testing: Before going live, verify your infrastructure handles expected peak load.
  • CDN Validation: Confirm your CDN is configured correctly. Are assets being cached? Is edge coverage good?
  • Capacity Planning: Know your infrastructure limits. Can you handle 100 concurrent users? 1000? Where does it break?
  • Performance Optimization: Identify slowest components. Database? API calls? Large assets? Fix what matters most.
  • Incident Post-Mortems: Site went down during traffic spike? Run test to reproduce and understand failure.
  • Infrastructure Upgrade Decisions: Do you need to upgrade your database? Add more servers? Load testing tells you.

Field Descriptions:

  • response_time_metrics: P95 is the key metric (what 95% of users experience)
  • throughput_metrics: Can the server handle expected requests/second?
  • errors: What breaks first? Database? API? Load balancer?
  • bottlenecks: Slowest components (target these for optimization)
  • recommendations: Specific improvements with estimated impact

💰 Cost & Performance

Typical run: 15,000 requests, 5-minute test, complete performance profile for ~$6.80.

That's $0.00045 per request — cheaper than the cost of actual paying customers discovering a broken site.

Compare to manual: Hiring a load testing consultant? $5,000+ per test, plus 2 weeks turnaround. We do it in 5 minutes for $6.80. You can test your infra changes daily.

🛡️ Built Right

  • Realistic traffic generation from actual geographies (not single-source spam)
  • Distributed load from multiple nodes (not local bottleneck)
  • Device simulation tests both desktop and mobile performance
  • Gradual ramp-up shows performance degradation as load increases
  • Detailed error tracking identifies exactly what breaks and when
  • Non-destructive testing (respects your traffic limits)

Fresh data. Zero guesswork. Be the first to know.
