How to Perform Load Testing for WebAR Sites?

[Fatima-Aslam]

Hi,
I’ve developed a WebAR experience using MindAR and it works well on individual devices. Now, I’d like to test how it performs under load — simulating multiple users accessing the WebAR experience at the same time. I’ve tried manual testing on different devices successfully, but now I want to simulate concurrent users accessing the WebAR site (e.g., loading assets, scanning the marker, triggering the 3D model, etc.).

What’s the best approach to load test a WebAR site?
Since WebAR involves camera access and rendering — how can I simulate a real browser with camera input to test complete flows?
Can you recommend a strategy or tooling combination?

Thanks in advance! I'd appreciate any pointers or recommendations.

Best regards,
Fatima

I think you can just use anything that tests for loading times. While you’re right that loading assets can be affected by simultaneous users, once the assets are loaded, everything else works on the browser (scanning marker, triggering model, etc) and isn’t dependent on the server and won’t affect WebAR performance. The only case where eyed have to worry about concurrent users after the load is if you’re streaming real-time video from the server (not the camera which is local) or if you’ve developed a multi-user realtime experience (eg: a bunch of different users signed into the same WebAR space, interacting with each other), but even these tend to only transfer small amounts of data after the initial load. Personal opinion: you should instead focus on how your experience performs on high and low end mobile hardware. That’s not really dependent on the server, but will have a much greater impact on the success of your experience with the public. Good luck! Israel
