On an unrelated note, that website looks so 2011!

A paid service, but the best I've seen is https://blitz.io . You can choose region(s), number of requests, multiple endpoints, and lots of curl like options.

I used to be a big fan of Blitz.io, and used it a lot for benchmarking my client's services. However they changed their payment model so the only option is to sign up for a monthly subscription, which does not fit in with my use case.

Does anyone know of an alternative that uses a pay-per-use option? In the meantime I have reverted to Bees with machine guns.

https://loadimpact.com/ seems to have pay-per-test as an alternative to subscriptions.
