Why Load Test Mobile Sites?

More and more internet usage is from mobile devices – smart phones and tablets. Whether your customer is browsing for information or actually buying, the user experience is paramount.

Unreliable and slow mobile websites with incomplete pages and badly performing user journeys don’t just damage your brand and reputation. They can also directly impact on your revenue, as users who are dissatisfied with their online experience quickly swap to a better performing competitor. Given the rapidly growing number of mobile internet users, you need to test that your site can cope with the potential traffic peaks ahead.

How Do We Do It?

Site Confidence provides independent assurance of how your mobile websites perform from your users’ perspective, through our market-leading load testing services.

Our advance emulated browser agent can emulate most smart phones and tablets on the market to give an accurate reflection of the performance on your mobile site (or your normal site from a mobile device). Site Confidence’s consistent and repeatable testing methodology ensures that we eliminate the variance caused by different mobile networks and signal strengths to concentrate on the factors you can control – by delivering consistent measurements to help you identify and rectify mobile site performance issues.

As with our standard website load testing service, we can load test pages and user journeys, all through the same interface, with the same power and flexibility in reporting.

Apps Too

With mobile, the web is not the full story. Native Apps for Android and iOS are a common delivery method, and these also need load testing. Although much of the performance is client side, without the web service or API delivering content to your app reliably, the app often can’t function. Using a tailored version of our Web Services scripts to emulate the mobile client side connection, we can ensure your JSON or XML web service is performing well under load.
