We've just released automatic anomaly detection for all LoadForge tests! Now, LoadForge automatically analyzes the last 5 runs of any test to establish a performance baseline. It then monitors for significant deviations in key metrics.
A fast-loading site keeps users engaged, drives higher conversion rates, and even improves search engine rankings. This guide will walk you through a practical approach to load testing a WordPress site hosted on Rapyd Cloud using LoadForge.
TLDR: The update enhances user experience by allowing full-size screenshot viewing, speeds up test launches and crawling, and improves AI analysis by switching to a faster model.

Sometimes it's the small things that make the load testing experience better!
We've rolled out an update that lets you click on screenshots in the live monitor and on the report page to see a full size image - something that was requested quite often to our surprise!
We've also improved the speed to launch tests on our cloud (where installations are not required). Load runners now launch in 20-30 seconds, allowing your test to be fully running in half a minute.
We've also improved the speed of the crawler, and increased the depth - so it'll find more pages, faster! This primarily improves the Wizard when creating tests.
And finally, AI analysis and AI improvements to test scripts should be around 2.5-3x faster as we've switched from GPT4o to o3-mini.
