LoadFocus
LoadFocus is a cloud platform for load testing, website page-speed testing, API monitoring, and front-end UI testing.
What LoadFocus is
LoadFocus is a cloud platform for load testing, website page-speed testing, API monitoring, and front-end UI testing. Load tests can use JMeter .jmx files or k6 JavaScript scripts, and users can describe a test in plain English to generate either type of script. Test charts report response time, latency, hits and throughput per second, standard deviation, and 50th, 90th, and 99th percentiles. The maker says tests can scale to more than 20,000 virtual concurrent users per test. LoadFocus also lists a Chrome extension and Jenkins CI plugin for creating or scheduling tests and checking results, plus direct reporting integrations with Datadog and Azure Application Insights. Free plans are available for API monitoring and load testing; the listed plans include limits on checks, tests, users, and data retention. Paid plans start at 19 /mo, and a 7-day trial is listed. Users who reach their plan's test-run allowance need to move to a higher plan for more runs. Customer data can be stored in EU or US regions by customer choice.
Good
- Supports JMeter files and k6 scripts
- Generates test scripts from plain-English descriptions
- Free API monitoring and load testing plans are listed
- Integrates with Datadog and Azure Application Insights
- Customer chooses EU or US data storage
Watch out
- Free load testing is limited to 10 concurrent users
- Plan test-run limits require an upgrade for more runs
- The free API plan checks every five minutes
Who it suits
LoadFocus suits engineering teams, developers, web agencies, product owners, and DevOps engineers who need testing or monitoring for sites and APIs. Its JMeter and k6 support may suit teams already working with either script format.
Verdict
LoadFocus covers load and page-speed testing alongside API monitoring, with script-based and plain-English test creation. Review the limits on the chosen plan, particularly test runs, checks, and data retention.
