Load testing + active site monitoring = less downtime. Prepare for heavy traffic. React quickly to problems.

Loadster uses the same scripts for load testing and site monitoring, so you can both test and monitor your site's key pages and critical flows.

Load testing your site will proactively determine how it will handle heavy load in a real high-traffic event. Discovering your site's breaking point and then eliminating scalability bottlenecks will make your site more resilient and far less likely to crash when a surge of real traffic hits.

Monitoring your site, night and day, is just as important. Even the best laid plans can go astray, and the best prepared sites might still suffer unplanned downtime. Active site monitoring, with bots constantly testing your site's most critical flows from different geographical locations, will help you detect problems quickly and react to them before your users are impacted.
