Load testing

 

If you value your online presence and want to make sure that it performs effectively at the various traffic levels, then you need to load test it.

Some web site owners view load testing with a sense of dread: an often cumbersome, resource- hungry process involving expensive consultants or time-consuming internal solutions. Consequently load testing is often missed out from the development cycle, leaving sites vulnerable to failure when they are needed most. But it does not have to be that way. Site Confidence offers a load testing solution that is easy to set up, utterly configurable to your needs, and provides rapid, actionable results. All at a very affordable price.

Here are six great reasons for using Site Confidence’s load testing solution:

  1. Easy to set up:

    As a managed solution, we do the bits you don’t want to do. We help you to establish your testing objectives and the best way to meet them. We then do the hard bit: scripting the user activities you want to simulate on your site. You don’t need any hardware or infrastructure at all. Just tell us what you want, and we will set it up for you.

  2. Entirely configurable to your needs:

    Whatever user activity you want on your site, we can simulate it: from simple visits to a particular page to complex combinations of user journeys. We help you to build whatever traffic scenarios, at whatever levels, that you want.

  3. You control the bits you want to control:

    But we put you in control of the parts you want to be in control of. You can choose:
    • how to test, since you can run the tests yourself;
    • when to test, on however many days you want to test on;
    • where to test from, since the tests are operated through a secure online portal, which is particularly useful if you want to test out of hours from home.

  4. Real-time results that enable rapid improvements:

    What is the point in getting someone else to do the testing for you and then send you a big report in two weeks time? You need clear, actionable results immediately so that you can make improvements straight away. That is what Site Confidence provides.

    You can see the results of your tests through our online portal  as they happen. From clear summaries to very detailed breakdowns of how your site performs under load, you can diagnose the causes of problems quickly. That means that you can make immediate changes, and if desired, run the test again to ensure that the improvement has been made.

  5. Unlimited iterative testing, at a great price:

    Site Confidence understands that this iterative process to testing – test, make a change, re-configure, re-test – is what gives our customers the greatest return on their investment. So we allow customers to do an unlimited amount of testing on a given day. Our prices provide good value even if you only want to run a single test. But if you want to test over and over again, or run a really long test to see how your site copes with prolonged traffic levels, be our guest at no extra charge.

  6. As much excellent, experienced help as you want:

    Some customers are old hands at testing and want to do it all themselves. Others have never done it, and approach testing with that sense of dread. We will therefore give you as much or little support as you wish. It is easy to say and hard to deliver, but Site Confidence really does have a passion for customer service. That is the single biggest reason that we are the UK’s market leader in what we do. So you can always rely on helpful advice and support throughout your testing process at no charge. But if you want to engage our help on a much more substantive level, to run the tests for you to interpret the results for example, then we offer experienced professional services too.
