   Great platform for testing across multiple devices

   Headspin has been an essential part of our testing process from the beginning. We've used it to test everything from mobile sites to native applications and we've found it to be invaluable for both developers and testers. We can run tests on any device from any location in the world, and the bug reporting feature makes it easy to track down and fix errors.

   👍 Pros:    Performance testing|Cross browser testing|Automation|Mobile app testing|Great customer support

   👎 Cons:    Expensive

   Great testing platform

   We use Headspin automation to run our functionality tests across multiple browsers and operating systems. We can identify UI misalignment specific to browsers or failures due to incompatibility with a particular browser. The good part is you can automate screenshots and get insights into where the UI of your website is going off. Then we can use the live feature to identify and debug the compatibility issue. We strongly believe customer experience is the key, and that could impede your product growth. With Headspin, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customers do!

   👍 Pros:    Cross browser testing|Performance testing|Real device testing|Great customer support

   👎 Cons:    A bit expensive

   HeadSpin Cross Browser Testing tool is a must.

   We have been using HeadSpin for a while now, and we're pleased with their services.

   Their customer support is available 24x7 and they have helped us many times with any issues or questions we had. They are always up to date with the latest version of browsers, which is something we highly value.

   They have a wide selection of browsers and operating systems, which makes it easy for us to identify the issue on our website and solve it in no time.

   👍 Pros:    Cross browser testing|Automated testing|Performance testing

• express server failing after high number of requests in digital ocean droplet with high configuration

  I wanted to see how many requests can this server handle, so I have used loader.io and run10k requests for 15 seconds. But it seems 20% percent of request fail due to timeout, and the response time keep increasing. Source: 11 months ago

• Why everyone says PostgreSQL better then mongo?

  I ran on the same hardware 5k current get requests through https://loader.io/ tool to the server with each db. Source: over 1 year ago

• free-for.dev

  Loader.io — Free load testing tools with limitations. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• How to stress test my website?

  We put 50 servers of puppets against 50 http servers and see who wins. Ever had 10,000 in your checkout line at once? loader.io is for posers. Also what if there's 250,000 wanting to join the checkout line. Well we can scale to the moon and not handle that. I recommend a waiting room like Queue It. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best Way to Benchmark Web Hosting?

  I've used what you said, identical setups (with Wordpress) and some plugins: WordPress Hosting Benchmark tool and WP Performance Tester plus some runs with loader.io. Source: almost 2 years ago
