BuddyPress.org

Hi everyone,

I am looking for recommendations to evaluate the performance of my BuddyPress based website. I have considered tools like PageSpeed Insights and Apache JMeter, but these are more focused on response times, URL rendering, and similar metrics.

What I really need is a way to conduct a stress test that includes typical BuddyPress user actions, such as:

Sending messages between users.
Creating groups.
Posting in forums.
Other BuddyPress-specific interactions

I found the BuddyPress Default Data plugin, which allows me to create users, messages, friend connections, groups, topics, activity items, profile data, etc., and seems useful for testing purposes. However, I am not sure if this plugin would be a good option to test server resource consumption during these actions, or if it is unrelated to what I need.

Has anyone used this plugin for performance testing? Or could you suggest any tools or specific approaches to simulate these types of interactions in a testing environment and measure the server impact?

Thank you in advance for any ideas or suggestions!
