k6.io overview

What is k6.io?

WHY LOAD TEST?

Time is money – Most websites and applications are revenue generating tools for companies and

poor performance translates to customers lost.

Performance matters - 47% of PC visitors and 69% of tablet visitors expect response times equal to or below 2 seconds (Akamai, 2012); 18% of shopping carts are abandoned due to slow website performance (Radware, 2013); 68% of website owners experienced performance or stability problems in 2012 (Load Impact, 2012).

The complexity of mobile – Performance is the most important differentiator when it comes to mobile app adoption, use and abandonment rates. A small delay in load-time might seem like a minor issue, but in reality even a small change in latency – from 2ms (broadband) to 400ms (3G network) – can cause a page load time to go from 1 second to 30 seconds.

Cost Savings – There are many parts of the web architecture such as web servers, load balancers, firewalls, Internet service providers, third party applications and local internet service providers. Load testing allows you to pinpoint bottlenecks in different parts of the web architecture so you only upgrade what you need to.
