The AI test generator now shows your script in a real code editor
When you create a test with AI, the generated k6 or JMeter script now opens in a proper code editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers and easy copying. It is far easier to read and review before you run, and you can still detach and edit the code directly.
Learn more →JMeter Test Fragments and Module Controllers now run correctly
JMeter scripts that reuse logic through Test Fragments, Module Controllers or Include Controllers now execute exactly as they do in your local JMeter. Previously the referenced fragment content was silently skipped in cloud runs, which could break login flows and cause 403 errors on every authenticated request. Cloud runs now also match local JMeter for disabled elements: samplers, headers and assertions you disabled in the JMeter GUI no longer execute, so if a recent run shows fewer samples than before, check your script for disabled elements. And a Module Controller whose target no longer exists now fails the run with a clear error instead of producing incomplete results, the same way JMeter itself behaves.
Learn more →Your first API check now runs on the first try
New accounts that sign up with Google now get an email alert channel straight away, so the very first check you create can run without a setup dead end. And when a check still needs something before it can run, the form now points out exactly what is missing instead of doing nothing when you press Run Check Now. Fewer silent walls on day one.
Learn more →Load tests that fail to start now tell you clearly
When a cloud load test cannot start its generators, the results page now shows an honest failed state with a plain explanation, instead of a green completed bar that hid the problem. We also added a watchdog that spots runs stuck before they ever begin and flags them, so a test can no longer spin forever with no answer. Applies to cloud, JMeter and k6 tests.

Schedules now save together with your test
Setting up a recurring load test is simpler. The schedule panel is ready as soon as you open it, and your schedule saves in the same step as the test, so there is no separate Save schedule button and no need to save the test first. Editing an unrelated part of a test no longer disturbs a schedule that is already paused. Available on paid Load Testing plans for cloud, JMeter and k6 tests.
Learn more →Load Starter: a smaller load testing plan at $29
A new entry level Load Testing plan for solo developers and small projects. Load Starter gives you 250 virtual users for up to 20 minutes per run, scheduled runs, load from 3 regions at once, PDF reports and AI analysis, from $19 a month billed yearly. It sits just below Basic, so you can start load testing for less and move up when you need more.
Learn more →Nine new free developer tools
Nine new in-browser tools, no signup needed: Base64 encoder and decoder, URL encoder and decoder, JWT decoder, regex tester, cron expression parser, hash generator, timestamp converter, UUID generator and colour converter. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is sent to a server.
Learn more →Stream live load test metrics to your own APM
Connect a load test to any OpenTelemetry (OTLP) backend, such as Grafana Cloud, Honeycomb, New Relic, Datadog, Dynatrace or a self hosted collector, and LoadFocus streams live metrics from your run there as it happens. Works with both k6 and JMeter tests. Set it up once under Integrations and attach it to any test.
Learn more →Share load test reports with a public link and README badge
Every finished load test now has a Share button. It creates a public, read-only report page with the verdict, key stats and the response time chart, safe to send to teammates, clients or your community. You also get a live SVG badge for your README that shows the verdict, virtual users and p95 of your shared run. Links are revocable at any time, and only the snapshot you shared is visible, never your account or live data. Available for cloud, JMeter and k6 tests. New accounts also get a getting started checklist on the dashboard.
Learn more →See your page speed under load
Turn on Core Web Vitals under load on any cloud load test and LoadFocus samples LCP, CLS, FCP and TTFB on your page while virtual users ramp up. The results page charts each vital against the load curve, so you can see the exact point where the experience starts to slow, not just whether the server stayed up. Needs a Page Speed Monitoring plan; each sample uses one Page Speed test. Available on manual runs.
Learn more →Scheduled load tests: more frequencies and smarter alerts
Scheduled load tests can now run as often as hourly or every few hours, or on specific weekdays, alongside the existing daily, weekly and monthly options. Alerts got smarter too: you get an email when a scheduled run starts failing its thresholds or stops completing, a follow-up when it recovers, and nothing while it keeps passing. Higher frequencies are checked against your plan's daily run limit up front. Available on paid Load Testing plans for cloud, JMeter and k6 tests.
Learn more →Schedule recurring load tests with email alerts
Attach a daily, weekly or monthly schedule to any saved load test and let LoadFocus run it for you at the time and timezone you choose. You get an email only when a run fails its pass/fail thresholds or does not complete, so a passing schedule stays quiet. Scheduled tests show a SCHEDULED badge in your test list, and you can schedule a test straight from its row menu. Available on paid Load Testing plans for cloud, JMeter and k6 tests.
Learn more →Import cURL, HAR, Postman or OpenAPI into a load test
Turn a cURL command, HAR file, Postman collection or OpenAPI spec into a runnable k6 script or JMeter test plan without writing it by hand. Open the New k6 or JMeter Test page, paste or upload your request, and we generate the script, attach it to the test, and let you preview, copy or download it. Detected auth values can be inlined so the test runs on the first try.
Learn more →Free converters: cURL, HAR, Postman and OpenAPI to k6 or JMeter
New free tools convert a cURL command, HAR file, Postman collection or OpenAPI spec into a ready-to-run k6 script or JMeter .jmx test plan, right in your browser. Copy or download the result, no signup needed.
