In their own words
LoadFocus
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; users can also describe a test in plain English and have the service generate a script in either format. The maker says a test can scale to more than 20,000 virtual concurrent users. Charts report response time, latency, hits and throughput per second, standard deviation, and the 50th, 90th and 99th percentiles. A Chrome extension and Jenkins CI plugin support creating or scheduling tests and checking results, while direct reporting integrations are listed for Datadog and Azure Application Insights. Customers can choose EU or US data storage regions. LoadFocus has free plans for API monitoring and load testing, and a 7-day trial is listed. Paid plans start at $19/mo. Plan test-run limits apply: users who reach an allowance must upgrade to unlock more runs. The maker presents it for engineering teams, including developers, web agencies, product owners and DevOps engineers.
