Load Testing Services
Loadster delivers load testing as a service: a self-service cloud platform that most teams run day-to-day, plus limited availability for performance engineering engagements when you'd rather hand the work to specialists.
Load Testing SaaS Platform
The Loadster cloud testing platform runs your load tests, stress tests, and 24/7 site monitoring from 32 fully managed locations around the world, supporting both AWS and GCP clouds. You build your scripts and launch tests; Loadster handles the infrastructure, scaling, and reporting.
Loadster's load testing software-as-a-service platform is the recommended starting point for most teams. It offers transparent pricing in the form of usage-based Loadster Fuel or monthly plans, no long-term commitment, and is self-service from the first test onward.

Performance Engineering Services
Loadster's team is product-focused but sometimes has limited capacity for professional services engagements where we do the load testing and performance engineering work on your behalf. This is a good fit for organizations with more budget than time who need extra specialized assistance planning, scripting, testing, and analyzing application performance.
Professional load testing and performance engineering services suit teams who require expert, hands-on help rather than a tool they run themselves.
Please contact help@loadster.com to inquire further about whether Loadster's professional services might be a fit for your organization.
One service for every kind of load testing. Loadster does both proactive testing and round-the-clock monitoring for websites, web apps, and APIs.
Whether you bring your own scripts to the platform or hand a project to our engineers, Loadster's load testing services cover the full range of performance work:
- Website and web app load testing — simulate thousands of concurrent users with real browsers or lightweight protocol bots to find scalability bottlenecks before a traffic surge does.
- API load testing services — drive REST, GraphQL, and HTTP APIs at high throughput, with authentication, datasets, and assertions.
- Stress testing — push past expected capacity to discover the breaking point and confirm the system recovers cleanly afterward.
- Site and API monitoring — reuse the same scripts to watch your critical flows 24/7 and get alerted the moment something breaks.
Why use a load testing service? Skip the infrastructure, the tooling, and the maintenance.
Standing up your own load testing rig means provisioning load generators, installing and patching tools, wrangling distributed agents, and tearing it all down afterward. A load testing service does that for you: Loadster runs the load generators across 32 AWS and GCP regions, scales them on demand, and hands back live metrics and reports. You focus on the scripts and the results, not the plumbing.
For occasional or small tests, open source tools you run yourself can be perfectly adequate. But as testing becomes frequent or large-scale, the engineering time and infrastructure cost add up quickly — which is exactly where load testing as a service earns its keep.
