I'm having problems with our website, where it becomes unusable at very popular times. The server is overpowered in my opinion, but the website seems to be inefficient and I'm looking to speak to a company who can help intelligently load test the website, replicating the actual things a user does rather than using brute force to load the website with visitors.

The aim is to find out why it's running like crap under heavy load rather than throwing more power at the server (I'm nearly at the highest-paid plan you can go to on a popular cloud platform).

I had the same problem last month and upgraded our cloud-based server but it seems to have had no effect. Can anyone recommend someone?

I used to be on a big spec dedicated server but now using a cloud-based solution (Digital Ocean). Budget ... well, it's important I get this fixed.
