load-testing-commerce

load-testing-commerce is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from finsilabs/awesome-ecommerce-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (3,667 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A load-testing guide helps simulate many realistic shoppers using a catalogue, cart, and checkout. Load testing checks how an application behaves under heavy traffic before real customers arrive.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create k6 or Artillery scenarios, measure performance, set baselines, and reproduce traffic-related incidents in a test environment.
Why use it?
It reveals slow parts and capacity problems that may only appear during flash sales, major launches, or infrastructure changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

load-testing-commerce scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Load Testing — Commerce

Overview

Load testing e-commerce applications requires more than hammering an endpoint with concurrent requests. Realistic test scenarios simulate actual user behavior: browsing the catalog, searching for products, adding items to a cart, and completing checkout — including the think time between actions. This skill covers building realistic shopping scenarios in k6 and Artillery, interpreting results to find bottlenecks, and establishing performance baselines before major sales events.

When to Use This Skill

  • When preparing for a flash sale, Black Friday, or seasonal traffic spike
  • When deploying a major infrastructure change (new database, CDN, checkout service)
  • When establishing performance SLOs and baselines for a new storefront
  • When a production incident was caused by load and you need to reproduce it in staging
  • When a new checkout feature is being released and its performance impact is unknown

Core Instructions

Step 1: Determine your platform and what you can test

Platform Load Testing Scope Recommended Approach
Shopify Shopify's infrastructure scales automatically — you cannot overload it meaningfully Test your theme's frontend performance with Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse CI; test any custom apps or storefronts you host separately
WooCommerce You own the server — load testing is critical before sales events Use Loader.io (free tier: 1 target, 10K connections/test) against your staging site; or k6/Artillery for detailed scenario testing
BigCommerce BigCommerce scales automatically — platform infrastructure is not a concern Test your theme's frontend performance with PageSpeed Insights; test any custom middleware or headless layer you host
Custom / Headless Full control — load testing is your responsibility Use k6 (open-source, scriptable) or Artillery (YAML-based) with realistic shopping scenarios against a staging environment

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
