Case Study: Karmaloop achieves peak holiday site performance with Keynote Systems

Karmaloop - Customer Case Study

Karmaloop, a multi-platform web retailer, saw traffic rise 40% in 2010 and its site began struggling under the load ahead of the holiday shopping season. To prepare, Karmaloop turned to Keynote Systems and its Keynote LoadPro Web load testing service to identify performance issues before they could affect customers.

Keynote Systems simulated real user shopping activity on Karmaloop’s live site, pinpointed bottlenecks, and recommended optimizations. After implementing the changes and retesting, Karmaloop improved site performance and gained confidence it could handle peak traffic during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, avoiding potential outage losses estimated at $50,000 to $100,000 per hour.
