Performance Testing
LoadView is Dotcom-Monitor's load testing product. The distinguishing feature: it uses real browsers — actual Chrome instances — rather than simulated HTTP traffic. That distinction matters more than it might seem, and it's worth understanding before you design your first load test. Why Real Browsers for Load
Load Testing
Running load tests manually after every deployment is a discipline that erodes over time.
Load Testing
BlazeMeter suits enterprises needing JMeter compatibility and multi-protocol support. Loader.io wins for quick HTTP API tests with minimal setup. k6 Cloud offers the best developer experience with code-first tests and generous free tier. Your choice depends on team size, budget, and scripting preference. Cloud load testing has
Load Testing
Running a load test and looking at one average response time number misses most of what the test is telling you. BlazeMeter's reporting gives you a layered view of performance data — from the high-level summary to per-transaction drill-down. Knowing how to read these reports is
Load Testing
Every "Artillery vs k6 vs JMeter" comparison online has the same "resource usage: Moderate/Low/High" row and no numbers behind it.
Load Testing
A load test that only hits one endpoint tells you how fast that endpoint is.
Load Testing
Out of the box, Artillery gives you latency percentiles and status code counts.
Load Testing
Artillery is a load testing tool built for developers. You write YAML, you run a command, you get results.
Load Testing
Running load tests manually before releases is better than not running them. Running them automatically on every pull request is better still.
Testing
Artillery covers the basics well — YAML config, HTTP scenarios, simple ramp patterns.
WebSocket
HTTP load testing is well understood. WebSocket load testing is not. Most teams either skip it entirely or discover their WebSocket server collapses at 500 concurrent connections only after a major feature launch. This guide covers the tools, metrics, and test scenarios that matter for WebSocket performance. Why WebSocket Load
Shift-Left Testing
Performance problems discovered in production are the most expensive kind.
