Performance and load testing

We find out how many customers your site or app can handle at once and remove the bottlenecks before the rush arrives.

Many companies find out their system cannot handle a rush only when Black Friday or a big launch arrives, and by then it is too late. We build realistic load scenarios from how your visitors actually behave, simulate the rush in a test environment and find the bottlenecks before customers feel them. After optimization, the tests stay in place and check that no new release slows the system down.

What you get

  • Realistic load scenarios based on how your visitors actually use the site
  • Rush tests with two, five and ten times your usual number of visitors
  • Tests that run for many hours under steady load, to uncover problems that only appear after long use
  • A list of the five biggest causes of slowdowns, with an estimate of how much each one matters
  • Fixes with before and after measurements, so you can see how much faster the system is
  • An automatic speed check with every new release, so slowdowns do not creep back in

When to call us

  • Black Friday, a product launch or a big campaign is coming up
  • Your site slows down or crashes during peak hours and nobody knows why
  • You are planning growth for next year and need to know how much server capacity you will need
  • You are moving to new infrastructure and want to know it will hold up before you switch

How we work

First we use your traffic data to see what kind of load your system really handles. Then we build scenarios and run them in a test environment while monitoring every part of the system, to find where it gets stuck. After the fixes we run the tests again to confirm the system really is faster and more stable.

Frequently asked questions

For most modern projects we choose k6, because scenarios are easy to write and results are simple to follow in Grafana. We use JMeter when the system relies on unusual protocols or when you already have a lot of existing JMeter scenarios.
