How it works

From zero to global load test in 3 steps

01

Verify your domain

Add a DNS TXT record or HTTP file once. We confirm you own what you're testing. Required to prevent abuse.

02

Configure & run

Set VUs, duration, regions, and success criteria. Kick off via API or the visual console. Tests start in seconds.

03

Analyze & improve

Watch live p95/RPS/errors per region. Get pass/fail based on your criteria. Download PDF report. Fix bottlenecks.

Features

Everything serious teams need

🌍

50+ Global Nodes

14 regions across 6 continents. Generate realistic, geographically distributed load — exactly as your real users do.

📊

Real-Time Metrics

p50/p95/p99 response times, RPS, error rate, active VUs — all updating live, per region, per second.

4 Test Strategies

Load (constant), stress (ramp to failure), spike (burst), soak (endurance). Configurable ramp-up/down curves.

Pass / Fail Criteria

Define p95 threshold and error rate limit. OpenLoadAPI automatically determines pass or fail — perfect for CI gates.

🔌

CI/CD Integration

POST /v1/tests/ci blocks until test finishes and returns exit code 0 (pass) or 1 (fail). Works with any pipeline.

📄

PDF Reports

Auto-generated professional reports with full charts, performance breakdown, and optimization recommendations.

🛡️

Domain Verification

We verify you own your target domain before every test. No abuse, no surprises, no legal issues.

🔑

REST API First

Every feature accessible via REST API with Bearer token auth. Build load testing into any tool or workflow.

📈

Regression Detection

Compare any two tests side-by-side. Catch performance regressions before they hit production.

CI/CD Integration

Ship with confidence. Every deploy.

Add a single step to your GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI pipeline. Load test blocks until it finishes and fails the build if your SLA thresholds are broken.
