Excelsior, Minnesota, United States
What it is
LoadView is a cloud-based load-testing service for websites, web applications, and APIs. It runs tests in real browsers, including Chrome and Firefox, to show how a site responds to traffic from a user’s perspective. The EveryStep Web Recorder provides point-and-click script creation and supports more than 40 desktop and mobile browsers and devices. Traffic scenarios can use Load Step, Goal-based, or Dynamic Adjustable curves, with load injector servers in over 40 zones across the Americas, Europe, and APAC. Reports show execution plans, average response times, and errors, and waterfall charts break down page elements. LoadView describes CI/CD integrations for Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and CircleCI. Its On-Prem Load Injector can create load inside an organization’s network and send results for online reporting. A free plan is available for single tests, and paid pricing is listed from $129/mo (annual). Individual tests are limited to four hours, and support is available 24/7 by phone, email, or chat.
