Before running a load test on a website which is in a capacity greater than 100 users, we need first to make sure that you are the owner of this website. For obvious reasons we cannot allow to run a high capacity load test on a website owned by someone else.
To ensure website ownership, we require that you put a simple html file named cloudintelligence.html at the top level path of your website.
For example, if you are testing http://www.example.com/landing/page, a URL of the name: http://www.example.com/cloudintelligence.html must exist.
This action provides us with a proof that you are the owner of the website and therefore can run a load test on it.
Prior to running the load, we automatically check the availability of this file at all the domains specified in the test. If this check returns a false value on any domain, the load test will not run.
If for some reason you are unable to do so, please contact us and we will authenticate you and allow the tests to run.
A sample test (a test of up to 10 users) does not require these security/ownership measures and can run without the file being present on the domains under test.
