Super Bowl ads, Black Friday, flash sales — will your platform hold under pressure? Simulate real-world traffic, prevent crashes, and be prepared for the biggest traffic events.
4.8
Even the best e-commerce platforms can break under pressure. Without
proper performance
testing, you’re gambling with every sale.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, viral TikToks, or a multimillion Super Bowl ad — High sales events are great for business and terrible for an untested backend.
Without load testing, even a modest traffic spike can crash your store, freeze carts, and wipe out revenue in minutes.
The most fragile point in your funnel is also the most expensive.
If your site slows down when too many users try to check out, they’ll bounce — and they won’t come back. High response times, failed payments, spinning loaders: all avoidable with performance testing.
You pushed the update. Nobody tested it. Now nothing works.
A small code change or new plugin can overload your system in ways you didn’t predict. Performance testing ensures every update is safe — before your customers find the bugs for you.
Your store says “In Stock” — but your warehouse knows better.
When traffic climbs, backend systems like inventory and ERP can fall out of sync. That means customers buy items you don’t have, orders get canceled, and unnecessary strain on your operations — unless your systems are ready for real demand.
Your platform might be fast — but what about your integrations?
Most ecommerce setups rely on third-party services: payment providers, shipping APIs, CRM tools. Under pressure, even one weak link can stall the whole experience. Load testing identifies these chokepoints before your customers do.
Your campaign worked — but not everywhere.
A performance bottleneck in a different region can silently sabotage your international customers. Without geo-based performance testing, you won’t know it’s broken until you’ve already lost the sale.

Neither should your performance test
FolderWave, Inc., a key digital services provider in Massachusetts, supports students in education planning. Collaborating with MEFA Pathway and College Board, they link numerous educational institutions. To tackle this issue, Bob Burke, president and co-founder, hired PFLB for performance testing.
Let’s run a performance test and show you what’s working — and what needs fixing — before your next big sales event.
Absolutely. Our performance testing tools are built for both engineers and non-technical teams. With smart reports and AI-powered recommendations, you can test like a pro — even without a dedicated performance team.
We use enterprise-grade traffic simulation tools to mimic thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of users hitting your store at once — browsing, carting, checking out — just like they would during a real campaign or sales event.
Our software performance testing tools help you uncover backend bottlenecks, overloaded APIs, third-party failures, slow response times, and more — all before your customers ever experience them.
With our volume testing software and Quick Load Testing solution, we can launch a full test and deliver results in as little as 4 days — perfect for tight deadlines and high-stakes launches.
Website load testing tools are optimized for eCommerce flows — page loads, checkouts, product filters — while general software load testing tools might focus more on APIs or backend systems. We cover both, tailored to your specific needs.
