URL Performance Testing

[Sridhar Krishnan]

Hi Dmitri,

Can we do JMeter Load tests on Static application homepage (parallax animation website) by using URL? eg: aaax.com

or how to we do load test the homepage? which approach is best?

Hi Sridhar, 

I don't really know what do you mean by "parallax application website",  https://aaax.com/ doesn't open for me. 

If you're talking about SPA there could be different technologies under the hood like SSE or WebSockets or AJAX 

You need to simulate the network footprint of a user which is accessing your website, first of all inspect "Network" tab of your browser developer tools and see which protocols and technologies are in place and how do requests look like. Then use relevant JMeter test elements or plugins to exactly mimic this in JMeter.

Sorry, That's for example I said  https://aaax.com/ (ignore)

How can I perform load testing on a static website(parallax) using JMeter?

The website does not have any login functionality.

How should I approach testing a site that includes animations, graphics, GIFs, videos, and images?

I am already using Lighthouse to measure frontend performance, but how can I effectively conduct load testing to evaluate the website’s performance under heavy traffic?

Sure you can pause single request if it's htts else any other protocal but you can't use record and play back

Just replicate your browser's network footprint and that's it. 

For animations, graphics, GIFs, and images - just configure JMeter to download embedded resources and add HTTP Cache Manager. For videos - it depends on how it's delivered, it might be another HTTP GET request to download the video or you can use HLS PLUGIN

With to parallax scrolling - JMeter is not a browser and it doesn't actually render the page, if you need to test this functionally as well - check out WebDriver Sampler. If you're not interested in frontend performance and/or functionality - focus solely on what happens on network level HTTP and maybe other protocols requests and responses.

Ok Thanks, will try these
