Further Reading

The memory optimization work is about making each bot’s browser use less RAM, which directly affects how many bots can run on each clustered cloud instance when running load tests.

Browser memory bottlenecks can produce false negative results in which the test runs poorly and the site appears to be having trouble, when in fact some or all of the problems might stem from the browsers themselves being overburdened.

Loadster automatically sizes test clusters according to typical browser resource usage across the large majority of our customers’ sites, but there are times when you should select 2X or 4X cluster sizing to allocate additional resources.
