As an engineering student, the best part is the free tier and how dead simple it is. I used it to stress-test the local web server I built on an ESP8266 for my smart irrigation project. Instead of downloading heavy testing software, you just paste your target URL, set it to something like 0 to 50 concurrent connections over 1 minute, and hit run. The graphs it generates are super clear and look really professional when we attach them to our final lab reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The target verification process is a bit of a headache for students. To test a server, you have to verify the URL by uploading a specific token file. Since my ESP8266 server runs on a temporary IP or an Ngrok tunnel, I have to hardcode their verification token into my C++ code every time I want to run a test, which is annoying. Also, the free version only lets you keep one target host at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really easy to configure a test case, literally it took me 30 seconds to stress test my home page and I got my result in the next 60 seconds. All in all, in 90 seconds I got to know how strong my landing page is. Other tools let you test any endpoints disregarding the privacy and ownership of the endpoint but with loader.io, I was able to verify my ownership within 10 seconds just by uploading a file. Their simulation feature informs you about how it would test the endpoint which makes understanding your result a breeze. I was able to schedule my stress test and the webhook let me know the results on my email. It was really a nice feature. Their documentation is comparatively comprehensive.

UI is a little bit old in style and flaky. A progress bar should be there to indicate the state of the stress test in progress. One other thing I dislike is that there was no way to fuzzy test endpoints with random data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Loader.io, and I found it to be an incredibly user-friendly tool. The integration process was straightforward, and the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. The results are precise and offer valuable insights into the performance of the website being tested. Overall, Loader.io is an excellent tool for load testing, especially for those looking for a hassle-free experience with detailed reporting. I used it on each release to test the new functionalities.

The mobile design is necessary, for example, I move too much, and sometimes I need to access the mobile but the site cannot adjust to the phone screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loader.io helped us stress test our website and delivered results in very short time which was really impressive. It's easy to use and navigate around. Understanding the results is fairly easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can use a little bit of touch up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loader.io automatically splits the payload data between the load generators for all our load test cases per client.

For load distribution, histograms are generated by capturing response times and sizes dynamically. It is convenient since it shows more details than the typical min/max average.

Since everything can be automated in its platform, we can focus our efforts during the initial setup & configuration. In case any issue arises, then we can troubleshoot & resolve them. It doesn't require continuous monitoring, unlike other load-balancing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its User Interface is very dated, and it would give a better end-user experience if they could enhance it using a suitable overhaul.

Apart from this, there are no issues with UI navigation or response time.

We can quickly provide external access to our internal resources via Loader.io & navigate the attempts to access our internal resources out to any external resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loader.io is a very simple and powerful tool to perform load testing on your web applications as well as business APIs. It has very neat and clean user-friendly UI. With pro version you can test unlimited target hosts with unlimited 10 minutes test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loader.io has multiple essential features for load testing still they are many more that they need to include. Reporting should be more optimised and should contain more information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loader.io is a straightforward cloud-based load-testing software/ tool available in the market for testing web apps built for organisation and personal purposes. The exciting part is that you can stress-test your apps at no cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I will highly encourage them if they have proper documentation about integrations in Loader.io. Apart from that, the charts are very helpful and its serves the purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its Real Time Live Analysis is my favourite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Worst thing about it is its lack of real time alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface of the dashboard the so smooth and user-friendly. Any new user can adopt to this platform real quick due to its ease of usage and design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As such I haven't come across any cons, but if the pro plan could include few more features, that would be really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it is free and so reliable and so easy to stress test our websites. We make updates to the website everyday and hence this is our go to tool and so reliable. I can also share reports with management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is great so far. No complaints at all. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
