So, Beyonce, unbeknownst to you, decides to wear your shirt. A paparazzi snaps her casually walking down Rodeo Drive with it. Suddenly your site explodes and you’re getting angry emails from crazed Beyonce fans about not being able to access it. What happened?! Was it the dreaded DDoS monster? Or did something even worse happen? You went viral..
When your WordPress finally goes live, it’s likely that you’ve probably spent weeks or even months building, iterating and debating about it. The last thing you’re thinking about is testing it. But if you plan on succeeding on the most important days of your business and site, you need to understand how many people can fit in it otherwise you could be leaving thousands on the table when your site goes down.
This talk will cover the philosophy of load testing, why it’s important, and a hands-on session using easy-to-use cloud testing tools. During this workshop, you’ll learn how to setup your own load test! Definitely bring a laptop to this interactive session.
