Load Testing with Asset Loading


I'm currently trying to load test a homepage I develop. Till now Loader.io was good enough for my purposes, but I realized it does not download/use the embedded assets.

Is there a load test service, which get's as close as possible to real users?

I haven't found anything until now. Hopefully somebody of you guys knows a suitable service.

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Apache JMeter does it for sure:

    enter image description here

    See Web Testing with JMeter: How To Properly Handle Embedded Resources in HTML Responses

    Moreover it simulates browser cache via HTTP Cache Manager

    If you rather looking for a "service" there are several options of running a JMeter test in the cloud starting from shell scripts like JMeter ec2 Script and ending up with end-to-end solutions like Flood.io or BlazeMeter
