Load Test Results: Light load (10 users, 30s)
Scenario 1 of 3
Response Time (95th Percentile)
What it means: How quickly your website responds when users click, browse, or check out. The 95th percentile shows how fast your site is for almost all customers — even under stress. Why it matters: Slow pages frustrate users and reduce sales. A difference of just 1 second in load time can mean thousands in lost revenue.
Requests per Second (Throughput)
What it means: How many requests your site can process every second. Why it matters:mThis metric shows scalability — can your site handle 100 users? 1,000? 10,000? Clients immediately see whether their store is ready for peak events like Black Friday or product launches.
Error Rate (% Failed Requests)
What it means: The percentage of requests that failed (timeouts, 500 errors, or broken pages). Why it matters: Even small error rates cause customer abandonment. If checkout fails 2% of the time, that’s 2 lost sales in every 100 visitors.
Concurrency (Active Users)
What it means: The number of users your site can handle simultaneously without crashing or slowing down. Why it matters: It’s the simplest, most relatable metric: “How many people can be on my website at once?” Business owners instantly connect with this number.
Scalability Curve (Load vs Response Time)
What it means: Shows how your site responds as more users join. At first it stays stable, then at some point performance breaks down. Why it matters: This is the single most important chart. It reveals the “breaking point” of your website. Business owners love it because it answers the ultimate question: When will my site fail under load?
Why These Results Matter
Load testing is more than numbers — it’s about ensuring your website stays fast, reliable, and profitable under pressure. By identifying bottlenecks before your customers do, you protect sales, trust, and brand reputation.
