LoadForge provides several ways to load test a websocket based backend. We'd like to highlight two specific guides in our documentation:

Testing WebSockets with SocketIO - Docs - LoadForge
Comprehensive guidance on using LoadForge to perform load tests on WebSocket and SocketIO based applications.

How to use LoadForge to load test websockets based applications

The SocketIO implementation makes it much easier to test, and is our recommended configuration for use on LoadForge.
