Load testing + site monitoring = high availability. Prepare for heavy traffic. React quickly to problems.

Loadster is a cloud-based performance engineering platform that 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's critical flows 24/7 is just as important. Even highly optimized sites may suffer unplanned downtime. Active site monitoring, with bots constantly testing your site's most important user journeys, will help you detect problems and react to them before your users are impacted.

Loadster's combination of proactive load testing and reactive monitoring is just what you need for high-availability websites, web apps, and APIs.
