One Million Clicks

HTTP load tester for a single URL.

Pound your own server. Find where it folds.

A focused HTTP load tester. Set a URL, set how many requests, hit go. The tool fires the configured number of requests as fast as your network allows and reports response times. Use it to benchmark your own server, tune your CDN, or verify rate limits behave the way you expect.

What it does

Enter a URL. Enter a number of requests (from a handful to a million). The program issues them sequentially or in parallel and records the time-to-first-byte for each. Useful when you need a quick load profile without spinning up a full load-testing rig like JMeter or Locust.

Legitimate uses

Use this tool against servers you control or have explicit permission to test. Random pummelling of other people's sites is denial-of-service, and they're entitled to call it that. Common legitimate uses:

  • Load-testing your own staging or production site before a launch
  • Verifying that your rate-limit middleware actually rate-limits
  • Measuring your CDN cache warm-up behaviour
  • Spotting a memory leak that only appears under sustained traffic
  • Comparing two server configurations head-to-head

Features

  • Configurable request count, from 10 to 1,000,000
  • Response-time histogram in the log output
  • Optional sequential or parallel firing
  • Portable single executable
  • No installer, no registry edits

System requirements

  • Windows 7, 8, 10, 11
  • An internet connection (or a target on your LAN)
  • About 1 MB of disk space
