Introducing Practically Free Load Testing up to 1,000,000 Virtual Users
Its election season, and one of our clients got listed on the Drudge Report: a single page instantly got millions of hits before the site crashed. We thought it would be cool to provide an inexpensive load testing service that could test for this simple scenario so websites could make sure their site wouldn't be crushed when their page views go through the roof.
