Hi all,

I’ve been searching around for some of the best ways to test web servers  
and most articles I read are old.

Can someone describe what methods / software they use to load test their  
web servers? I’m looking for software that could also crawl a page to  
discover more links on the site as opposed to just the main page.

Thanks,

Seth
