Single-page applications (SPAs) have become a popular choice in modern web development. With the dynamic retrieval of data, SPAs offer a seamless user experience as there is no need for full page refreshes. This poses some unique challenges for load testing, but with LoadForge, the process is made simple and efficient.

Understanding Single-Page Applications (SPA)

A Single-Page Application (SPA) is a type of web application that serves a singular web page. Instead of loading new pages, SPAs dynamically rewrite the current page with new data fetched from the server.

Key Characteristics of SPAs:

  1. No Page Refresh: In SPAs, full-page refreshes are never needed.
  2. Dynamic Content: All required HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are either loaded initially or added dynamically as necessary, usually based on user interactions.

Remember, you can also record your browser in order to generate a test script.
