Today we’re pleased to announce that BrowserMob now supports generating load from either the Washington, DC area (US east coast) or from Dublin, Ireland (western Europe). This means BrowserMob customers can now choose where the browsers that participate in their load tests will run from, resulting in an even more accurate end-user simulation. This new capability is possible thanks to recent expansion by the Amazon EC2 service in to Europe.

Selecting which geographic source the load comes from is as simple as selecting a drop-down box when scheduling your test, as seen in this screenshot:

For US-based companies and websites, we recommend continuing to use the Washington, DC source. For companies and websites based in Europe, generating load from Dublin, Ireland is most likely a better option. And for companies that have presence in both regions, BrowserMob is fully capable of running two simultaneous tests from both locations.

We expect to continue to add additional geographic locations as we are able to. If you have any questions about our physical locations, network access, or other infrastructure technology, you’re always more than welcome to contact us.
