Load Testing

Create the file pageview.json.

pageview.json

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "domain": "uptimerobot.com",
  "url": "https://uptimerobot.com/",
  "body": "I love my new iPad mini!",
  "test": true
}

Then, use Apache Bench to benchmark the Mentionlink endpoint. The command executes 10 requests in parallel with a total of 1000 requests; feel free to adjust per your website's traffic to confirm we can meet your demand.

ab -n 1000 -c 10 -H "content-type: application/json" -p pageview.json "https://api.mentionlink.com/v2/pageview"

Results

As can be observed, the mean (50th percentile) latency is about 150ms, which is very good.
