Load Testing — know your app holds up before your users find out

We simulate thousands of real users hitting your website, app or API at the same time — and show you exactly where response times slip, errors appear and servers run out of headroom. You get hard numbers and clear fixes, before launch day or the next traffic spike.

    Overview

    Your app works for ten users. Does it work for ten thousand?

    Most performance problems only appear under real load — a sale, a campaign, month-end, an exam result day. Load testing recreates that traffic in a controlled way, so you find the slow queries, weak servers and misconfigured limits before your customers do. We design tests around how your users actually behave, not just how many there are.

    Without load testing, you risk:

    • ●Crashes during sales, launches and campaigns
    • ●Slow pages that drive customers away
    • ●Lost revenue from failed checkouts
    • ●Over-spending on servers you don’t need
    • ●Damage to your brand on your busiest day

    What we test

    What we load test

    Click an area to see what we measure — and an example of what we find.

    Websites & web apps

    Real browser-like user journeys — browse, search, log in, add to cart and pay.

    WHAT WE TEST

    • Page & transaction response times
    • Concurrent user capacity
    • Session & login handling under load
    • Static asset & CDN behaviour

    EXAMPLE FINDING

    Checkout p95 = 6.2 s
    at 2,000 concurrent users
    HIGH

    APIs & microservices

    REST, GraphQL and internal services tested at the request rates you expect.

    WHAT WE TEST

    • Requests per second & latency
    • Rate limits & throttling
    • Service-to-service dependencies
    • Error rates under load

    EXAMPLE FINDING

    Order API returns HTTP 500
    on 9% of calls at 800 req/s
    CRITICAL

    Mobile app backends

    The APIs and services your Android and iOS apps rely on.

    WHAT WE TEST

    • App launch & login traffic
    • Push & notification bursts
    • Media upload & download
    • Third-party SDK calls

    EXAMPLE FINDING

    Login service times out
    during push-campaign burst
    HIGH

    Database & caching

    How your database, queries and caches behave with many users at once.

    WHAT WE TEST

    • Slow & blocking queries
    • Connection pool limits
    • Cache hit rates
    • Locking & deadlocks

    EXAMPLE FINDING

    Connection pool exhausted
    at 1,500 users → requests queue
    CRITICAL

    Servers & cloud

    CPU, memory, network and auto-scaling across your infrastructure.

    WHAT WE TEST

    • CPU, memory & disk saturation
    • Auto-scaling rules & speed
    • Load balancer behaviour
    • Cloud cost at peak load

    EXAMPLE FINDING

    Auto-scaling starts 4 minutes
    after the spike — too late
    MEDIUM

    Capacity planning

    How much traffic you can take today — and what you need for tomorrow.

    WHAT WE TEST

    • Maximum safe user load
    • Headroom for growth
    • Breaking point & recovery
    • Right-sizing recommendations

    EXAMPLE FINDING

    Current setup tops out at
    3,000 users — target is 10,000
    HIGH

    How we run your load test

    01

    Goals & scope

    Agree target users, journeys, response-time goals and the test environment.

    02

    Script journeys

    Build realistic scripts from your analytics and real user flows.

    03

    Run the tests

    Ramp up to peak load while monitoring every layer of your stack.

    04

    Analyse & report

    Pinpoint bottlenecks, with clear results and tuning advice.

    05

    Retest

    Run the test again to prove your fixes hold up at peak load.

    FAQ

    Questions before you start

    What is the difference between load testing and stress testing?−

    Load testing checks how your system performs at the traffic you expect, including peaks. Stress testing pushes past that until something breaks, to find the limit and see how it recovers. We can include both.

    Will load testing affect our live users?+

    We normally test on a staging environment that mirrors production. If we must test production, we agree a quiet time window and safe limits with you first.

    Which tools do you use?+

    Industry-standard tools such as JMeter, k6, Gatling and Locust, plus monitoring of your servers, database and cloud. We can also hand over the scripts so your team can rerun them.

    How many users can you simulate?+

    From a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of virtual users, generated from the cloud regions where your real users are.
