From Simulation to Optimization

How Goose Works

  • Simulate.

    Simulate real user traffic to test site performance before it impacts users.

  • Measure.

    Automated reports with summaries, segmentations, and test-to-test comparisons.

  • Validate.

    Validate scalability by testing peak loads confidently on pre-production infrastructure.
