Basic rate limit tester for browser-accessible APIs.

Run a small burst of requests and look for 429 responses, average latency shifts, and browser-visible throttling behavior. This is a quick client-side signal, not a substitute for production load testing.

When to use this

  • Confirm whether an internet-facing endpoint returns 429 responses.
  • Compare behavior before and after gateway or CDN policy changes.
  • Give developers a lightweight pre-check before deeper server-side testing.

If the browser cannot reach the endpoint due to CORS, use curl or your API client and verify throttling behavior there.

Run a small burst test to see whether your API returns 429 responses or custom limit headers.
