Loadster Recorder Extension Extension

The Loadster Recorder is a helper extension that enables you to easily record test scripts for Loadster from your Chrome browser.

Loadster is a load testing platform for websites, web applications, and APIs. Load testing is a way to ensure that the websites and apps you are building remain fast and responsive under heavy load. With Loadster, you can create test scripts simulating real user behavior, and then play them back with hundreds or thousands of concurrent simulated users.

You can also use Loadster for 24x7x365 Site & API Monitoring with the same scripts. Site monitoring makes the job of maintaining a high availability web application much easier, and ensures you'll be the first to know if anything breaks.

This Chrome extension works by observing your browsing activity (only when recording is enabled), and sharing it with the Loadster script editor for creating a script.

This extension can be disabled when you're not recording scripts.

To learn more about Loadster and script recording, check out https://loadster.app.
