This will be a simple tutorial on how to test the speed of your hosting provider as the number of visitors to your website increases. This is great for hosting services to demonstrate that their service can perform well under stress and for website owners who are curious about how well their website can perform under stress.
Step 1: Go to
Step 2: There will be a box with a button next to it that says "Run Free Test." Enter your website URL into the box and click Run Free Test.
Step 3: It will prompt you to sign up; if you want to, you can, but it's unnecessary. If you don't want an account, click on it and start testing.
Step 4: Load Impact will now send visitors to your site and will make a graph of how well your website performs as visitors increase. If your user load time stays the same as the number of visitors increases, that's a good sign that your hosting is stable and can perform well even under lots of traffic. However, if your user load time increases as visitors increase, it's a sign that you should probably switch services sometime soon (assuming your site receives traffic).
Example of a good host:
Example of a bad host:
Notice that the excellent host remains consistent and fast, and the lousy host is inconsistent as load times spike when visitors increase.
