Dejar un comentario I was checking the SIME Stockholm blog, and found an interesting company nominated for a SIME award, this company called loadimpact.com offer an interest and useful service for those who run dedicated servers, or e-commerce applications, or depend on reliability and performance, they have a tool to measure your website capacity to accept load.
I did a test for one of my websites ,and the results make me rethink the way my Apache server is configured.
This kind of test is very important especially for those who are relying the web hosting service in a shared environment and running a business critical application.
Back to the tool I can say is very complete, show a file summary, and at the same time plot a graph, whichs show how many users your site can handle and the server response time.
without doubt I would recommend this tool, you have two options the free and paid the prize is according to the number of users you want to simulate in the load test, the paid one is cheaper if you compare with a conventional high load test.
For User experience purposes the load time is very important when its come to response time. And that you should have in mind, specially before chose your hosting provider.
