http://linuxaria.com – Do you want to test how your new site work under an heavy load ? Put it under siege ! Siege is an http load testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. Siege supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It lets its user hit a web server with a configurable number of simulated web browsers. Those browsers place the server “under siege.” (Resources)

While the test server works great, serving about 800 concurent transactions/sec the "real" server on the internet just serves about 15 transactions per/second.

I am getting started using Apache Bench and Siege. I would like to provide a list of URLs and organize the results based on which pages have the worst performance. I assume I need to write a shell script or do some fancy piping or something to be able to do this. How can I do this?

When ever I try to load test a site that is load balanced on EC2 I get the following message:

ab -n 20 -c 20 http://www.somesite.com/

Benchmarking www.somesite.com (be patient)...Send request failed! apr_socket_recv: Connection reset by peer (54)

Any sites that are hosted on EC2 without the load balancer can be load tested successfully, so I figure it's not related to the security group I have

After installing an SSL certificate on a LAMP stack, the site doesn't seem to load for Internet Explorer, but has no issues in other browsers.
