Here's a concise feature request for a load testing tool:

### Load Testing Tool for Ploi

**Purpose:** Allow users to test their server's performance by simulating realistic traffic loads.

**Core Concept:**
- Send configurable numbers of fake visitors to a website
- Monitor how the server handles the load
- Generate simple performance reports

**Key Features:**
- Choose number of concurrent visitors (e.g., 10-1000)
- Set test duration (e.g., 1-60 minutes)
- View basic metrics:
  - Response times
  - Success/error rates
  - Requests per second

**Why:**
- Helps users validate their server capacity
- Identifies performance bottlenecks before real traffic hits
- Makes load testing accessible without external tools

**Implementation Note:**
Would need separate worker servers to generate load, preventing interference with Ploi's main infrastructure.

Simple, focused, and adds real value for Ploi users looking to validate their server performance.
