Load testing & performance testing
Growing without crashing? Test your application!Â
With load and performance testing, you leave nothing to chance. I detect bottlenecks and help future-proof your systems.
In today's digital world, the speed and reliability of your application is crucial to the success of your business. A slow or unstable application can lead to loss of customers and revenue. Therefore, load testing is an essential part of the development process. Load testing tools allow you to test the performance of your application under different "Load" to ensure it is ready for use in the real world
What is Load Testing?
Performance testing is the process of measuring how well an application performs under different conditions. The goal is to understand speed, stability, scalability and the behaviour of systems during use.
Load testing is a specific form of performance testing. Here, you test how a system performs under expected load and peak traffic. Think of situations where dozens, hundreds or even thousands of users access an app, API or website simultaneously.
By applying load and performance testing, you can assess whether your application remains stable and responsive under pressure. This allows you to detect bottlenecks early on and to focus on improving the scalability and performance of your application or infrastructure.

annual market growth
The global performance testing solutions market is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 33.4% between 2024 and 2030
Faster error detection
Smart performance dashboards find bottlenecks up to 95% faster than via manual monitoring or logs.
fewer issues
Organisations implementing performance testing experience a decrease of 45% in problems after an application is rolled out in production
Why is load testing important?
Improve user experience: A fast and reliable application ensures satisfied users and increases the likelihood of returning customers.
Ensuring system stability: By testing under different loads, you can make sure your system doesn't crash during peak.
Saving costs: Detecting performance problems early prevents expensive development repairs and long-term reputational damage.
Different types of load testing
Want to make sure your application or API performs reliably, even with high traffic?
With load testing and performance testing, you test whether your system remains scalable, stable and fast under load.Whether it is an app load test, an API load test, or a website performance test - with the right load testing tools, you will discover bottlenecks early and optimise the user experience.
Perfect for those who bet on quality, speed and reliability.
Load testing tools
Simulate user traffic and measure performance of your application or API. These tools help you simulate realistic user load and detect bottlenecks:
K6, Gatling, J-meter and Locust
API load testing
Test your REST API for stability, speed and error handling under load.
Performance testing
Automate your performance tests to find bottlenecks in your application and its APIs and systems.
Transfer and training
I don't leave your team to their own devices. You get clear documentation and training so you can continue building and testing confidently.
Sharp focus, immediate results
I start without noise: quickly focus targets and expose bottlenecks with effective testing.
Tool choice that works for you
I recommend and implement the right load testing tools and performance testing solutions to suit your stack and team.
From testing to optimisation
No reports without action. I help you turn test results into concrete improvements that really increase performance.
How do you effectively perform load testing or performance testing?
Setting objectives: Decide what you want to achieve with the load test, such as identifying bottlenecks or assessing scalability.
Creating test scenarios: Create realistic performance test scenarios that mimic expected user interactions for your application
Select tools: Choose the right load testing tools to suit your needs and technical stack.
Performing tests: Run load api tests or performance tests and the collect data on the performance of your application.
Analyse results: Analyse test results live to monitor bottlenecks and identify problems.
Implementing optimisations: Make the necessary improvements to optimise the performance of your application.
