Load Testing
What is load testing
Store disruptions can lead to financial losses and customer churn. Load testing allows to test the operation of your eCommerce project at peak loads, simulating the simultaneous presence of thousands of users on the site. Testing includes checking performance, stability, scalability and shows the system's resilience to failures.

What is the difference between load testing and software testing?
Load testing is a controlled test of infrastructure for system fault tolerance with a multiple increase in load. While standard testing is aimed at checking the correspondence between the actual and expected behavior of the program, for example, the completion of the authorization process or a successful purchase in the store.
Do you need any access for testing?
Before testing we ask our clients to whitelist our IP address and allocate a period of time with the minimum workload in the store in order to avoid disruptions.
When load testing is a must?
You are planning your first big marketing campaign/sale after your store launch or update. Without understanding the request limit that your project can handle, you risk getting an unavailable store in the midst of a promotion.
Why perform load testing when you migrate to a new hosting?
Server configuration depends primarily on the initial project data. Whether you’re looking to expand your outreach, enter new markets, or launch new services, make sure your new server can handle the increasing load.
My site is down. How can load testing help me?
If you had an incident, we can help you understand the reason why the infrastructure could not cope with the increase in traffic. By optimizing your server based on the recommendations we provide after testing you will be able to avoid repeated downtime and financial losses.
What should I do if load testing demonstrates poor site performance?
When system fault tolerance is low, we generally recommend implementing a caching system, increasing server capacity, or, preferably, conducting a comprehensive performance audit.
