Founded in August 2024 by entrepreneur Jordan McRae, Overload.su has quickly grown into one of the world’s top platforms for professional stress testing. The company specializes in advanced load-testing solutions that help website owners uncover weak spots in their infrastructure and build real resilience against destructive cyberattacks.

And in 2025, resilience is no longer optional. It’s essential. With DDoS attacks reaching record-breaking intensity, stress testing has moved from a nice-to-have to a must-do. Overload.su IP-stresser equips IT businesses with the tools they need to gauge how well their infrastructure can handle massive loads and stay afloat during potential attacks. According to Cloudflare, a staggering 20.5 million DDoS attacks were blocked in just the first quarter of 2025—a 358% increase year-over-year. In a climate like this, platforms like Overload.su aren’t just helpful. They’re business-critical.

A new era of cyber threats

The DDoS landscape has changed dramatically. Where cybercriminals once relied mostly on sheer volume, today’s attacks are more cunning, more fragmented, and harder to predict. 85% of all DDoS attacks now fall below 1 Gbps in size, but the average attack volume has jumped 69% year-over-year. Peak attacks? They’re reaching up to 962.2 Gbps.

That kind of duality—massive peaks and sneaky low-level floods—poses serious challenges for legacy protection systems.

“The threat isn’t always about hackers and bad actors, though they absolutely can take your site down when you’re at your most vulnerable. The real danger is being caught off guard by your own growth. If your site isn’t built to scale properly, your success can break you. Stress tests are a must if you want to avoid that and grow without headaches,” — explains Jordan McRae, CEO of Overload.su.

One major concern: the rise in HTTPS flood attacks, which now make up 21% of all incidents. These drain server resources by exploiting the load from encrypted traffic—making them especially dangerous to modern web applications. Meanwhile, DNS-based attacks have spiked by a jaw-dropping 876%, proving that comprehensive infrastructure testing is no longer optional.

“DDoS attacks have evolved from minor nuisances caused by script kiddies into serious security threats,” — notes Paul Lawrence, VP of International Operations at Corero Network Security in an interview with the BBC.

Cybersecurity experts are also seeing a “sharp rise” in the volume and sophistication of DDoS attacks. According to BBC, these are now a “go-to weapon” for cybercriminals—which only underlines the urgency of adopting proactive defenses.

Tech that doesn’t just keep up—it leads

In under a year, Overload.su has racked up impressive numbers: 20,000+ active clients, 50,000 load tests daily, and a growing base of IT teams who now consider proactive testing an essential part of their ops stack.

But what really sets them apart is the custom tech. Overload.su runs on Tier 7 infrastructure—powerful dedicated servers backed by its own internal network. That means realistic, world-scale simulations. Not generic, one-size-fits-all scripts.

“We’re the only provider on the market offering real, global-scale load simulation. Our clients stick with us for years—they don’t even bother looking elsewhere,” — says McRae.

The hidden dangers of high load

Modern DDoS attacks are no longer just frequent—they’re intelligent. Cloudflare reported over 6,500 hyper-volumetric DDoS events in Q2 2025 alone, averaging 71 incidents per day. Attackers are using multi-vector strategies, rotating protocols every 30–60 seconds to force security systems into a constant game of catch-up.

And the danger isn’t always malicious. A viral post, a surprise PR boost, a Black Friday sale—organic traffic spikes can crash unprepared systems just as easily as any botnet. That’s why Overload.su’s simulations are modeled on real-world traffic distributions, helping businesses uncover:

• Server bottlenecks
• API crashes
• CDN misconfigurations
• Third-party delays
• Latency under pressure

Strategic growth & what’s ahead

Overload.su is scaling fast—and not by accident. In January 2025, the platform underwent a full redesign and expanded its server capacity fivefold, signaling just how quickly demand for serious testing is rising. This surge in demand aligns with industry reports showing that the global load testing software market is expected to grow from $1.92 billion in 2025 to $4.1 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 11.4%, driven by increasing cyber threats and digital transformation initiatives. And later this year? New premium tiers are on the way, aimed at enterprise-level clients with higher security needs.

Overload.su already works with a wide range of global IT companies—from lean startups to large-scale enterprises. The five-person expert team handles every request hands-on, with immediate launch and full professional oversight from start to finish.

“Stress testing isn’t a luxury or some niche DevOps exercise. It’s vital. If your company is already big—or plans to get big—this has to be part of your risk management strategy. The costs of ignoring it? Devastating,” — McRae concludes.

Ready to stress-test your infrastructure?

In a world where cyber threats are escalating by the day, stress testing is no longer a precaution—it’s a business imperative.

Overload.su offers professional-grade testing solutions that identify weak points before they become disasters. Whether you’re scaling up, planning a major launch, or just want peace of mind, the tools are here—and they’re battle-tested.
