In November 2018 Kernl launched the closed beta of our new WordPress load testing service. After a lot of changes based on the feedback we received we’re finally bringing WordPress Load Testing out of beta and into general availability.
Why Load Test?
There are a lot of different reasons to load test.
- Infrastructure and Hosting – Kernl WordPress load testing gives you confidence that you are making the right decisions with your infrastructure and hosting. Looking to change hosts but aren’t sure how big or expensive of a plan you need? Run a load test.
- Performance Testing – Load testing gives you confidence that the SQL query you just wrote isn’t going to collapse your website under load.
- Confidence with your clients – Load testing lets you tell your clients with confidence that their new website can handle 100,000 visitors a day without any degradation in response time.

How Does It Work?
Kernl’s WordPress Load Testing solution makes load testing your WordPress site a breeze. You only need verify your ownership of the site with an easy to use WordPress plugin and then start testing. No coding or infrastructure management needed.
How Much Does it Cost?
Kernl’s WordPress Load Testing is included with your Kernl subscription. Usage per plan is as follows:
Plan Type | Load Tests | Max Duration | Machine Hours | Retention |
Old Plans | 2 | 15 min | 5 | 5 days |
Solo | 10 | 60 min | 5 | 30 days |
Agency | 30 | 120 min | 30 | 90 days |
Enterprise & Above | 100 | 300 min | 100 | 365 days |
If your needs don’t fit neatly into one of these categories feel free to reach out. We’d be happy to create a custom plan to suit your needs.
