Apica’s LoadTest Web Performance platform makes it easy for site owners to stress or load their web and mobile applications; which result inactionable results.
Anyone can bring a site down, but that’s not a load test.
The real challenge in a load test is to control the web load and record the effects on the web application and page load times, so that you will be able to analyze and learn from the experience.
So the real load test question becomes: Not only how many users you can handle, but why, and what you can do about it?
That’s where Apica comes in. We create and control the web load. You Learn.
Know your Web Load capacity
Apica LoadTest lets you find out how many users you can handle without malfunction, and if your web platform is aligned with your business objectives.
Real world testing using the cloud
Apica LoadTest is designed to mimic your operational conditions as closely as possible. Our test agents are deployed outside your hosting site, around the world and in the Cloud.

Minimum system impact
- Software as a Service- Load tests are performed from the outside and no software installation is needed.
- Load tests are performed during off-peak hours and web site behavior close to the capacity limit is closely monitored so that potential crashes are avoided.
True representation of your business and users
- Run load tests from geographical locations, in Europe or the US, that corresponds to the distribution of your users.
- Stress test specific pages or complete transactions consisting of many steps, which simulate typical user paths and tasks on your site.
- Support for dynamic content such as search strings, user IDs and URLs.
Analysis for web performance improvement
- Analyze load test results for different ISPs and regions and use as input in discussions with your ISPs and DNS service providers.
- Load test results are subdivided into the performance of pages, URLs and components of the application, which facilitates the identification of bottlenecks.
- In addition to knowing your capacity limit, results include a detailed “load curve” which shows the performance (web site response time) as the load approaches it’s maximum limit.
Integrated tools in the Apica WebExcellence suite
- Monitor your load test scenarios in production with Apica WebPerformance. Apica Loadtest is integrated with Apica WebPerformance, and you’ll be able to use the same test scripts in both applications.
Additional Technical Specification
- Apica LoadTest uses a diligently defined and controlled environment for its load tests, consisting of independent test centers with normalized load servers and a close supervision of environment and servers. Apica has access to thousands of servers throughout the world in major metropolitan areas and can generate a total load Loadtest of over 1,000,000concurrent users per minute, which equals over 600,000,000 page views per hour, to a website/day.

We needed to make sure we could handle the anticipated traffic with the release of our new site. We submitted our request, started with and initial test, did a much larger test and quickly learned we needed to scale. That is when Apica worked with us to overcome the challenges in time for our release. I appreciate how responsive and professional they were.
I met with Scott and Craig from Apica and they did a great presentation for me and my client. Apica has a great product. Their team is professional and very capable and they have a quick grasp of the challenges involved in measuring the capacity of diverse web sites. They determine exactly where the bottlenecks are, recommend changes and then work with us for a full week while we iteratively fix and re-test, all for a reasonable package fee.
