loadforge-cli: Git-first load testing with LoadForge

With loadforge-cli, your Locust scripts and test configs can live in Git, and your automations (syncing tests, starting runs, waiting for results) live in GitHub Actions. It’s the fastest way to make load testing part of your development workflow.

Build once, reuse everywhere: the LoadForge Library

Writing the same Python helpers across multiple Locust tests is brittle and slow. The Library lets you create shared Python modules—small, reusable functions you can import across all your tests—to keep your performance suite DRY and consistent.

QA Series: Automated Security Headers Testing

Security header misconfigurations aren't just technical oversights—they create real vulnerabilities that expose your users to XSS attacks, clickjacking, and data breaches. But manually checking security headers across every page? That's time-consuming and error-prone at scale. LoadForge can check them all for you!

QA Series: Basic Accessibility Monitoring

Accessibility issues aren't just compliance concerns—they exclude real users, create legal liability, and hurt your SEO rankings. But manually checking every page for WCAG compliance? That's overwhelming and inconsistent across large websites. Automate monitoring with LoadForge.

QA Series: Image Validation and Sizing Limits

Broken images and missing alt text aren't just accessibility issues—they hurt your SEO rankings, create poor user experiences, and can even trigger legal compliance problems. But manually checking every image across your website? That's a nightmare at scale. Automate it with LoadForge.

QA Series: Checking for broken links

Broken links are more than just user experience killers—they hurt your SEO rankings, damage credibility, and can cost you conversions. But manually checking every link on your website? That's time-consuming and error-prone. Automate it with LoadForge!

Browser Testing Launched
Changelog

Browser Testing Launched

Until now, LoadForge specialised in high-scale HTTP load tests—perfect for pushing millions of virtual users against your APIs. That’s still core, but some questions live *inside* the browser: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), flaky JavaScript flows, third-party widgets, visual shifts... Today you can test those too.

Performance Monitoring Launched
Changelog

Performance Monitoring Launched

At LoadForge, we believe every millisecond counts. That's why we're thrilled to unveil our brand-new Performance section—your one-stop dashboard for tracking, analyzing, and optimizing web performance metrics across your entire site.

Improved Anomaly Detection
Changelog

Improved Anomaly Detection

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.
