In a world where 600 million cyberattacks occur every single day and 133 new vulnerabilities are discovered daily, protecting your online infrastructure is no longer just a smart move — it’s a matter of survival. Overload.su, an IP stresser platform founded by Jordan McRae in August 2024, offers a game-changing solution: professional-grade load testing to help businesses build truly resilient IT systems.
A digital disaster, by the numbers
The 2025 cybersecurity statistics paint a stark picture of the modern online battlefield. According to an official UK government report, 43% of British businesses fell victim to cyberattacks in 2024. A staggering 7.78 million cybercrimes were committed against UK-based organizations over the past year.
“Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and impactful as hackers, threat groups, and state-sponsored actors increasingly target UK organisations and critical infrastructure for both profit and disruption,” says Phil Tonkin, Field CTO at Dragos.
What’s even more alarming is the financial toll. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre reported a threefold rise in critical cyber incidents in 2024 compared to the previous year.

A success story amid digital chaos
Founded on August 18, 2024, Overload.su has managed to earn the trust of more than 20,000 clients worldwide in less than a year. The platform now runs over 50,000 tests every day — positioning it as one of the global leaders in load testing.
“We built Overload.su to help website owners detect vulnerabilities in their systems before bad actors do,” explains CEO Jordan McRae.
This success is even more remarkable when you consider that phishing attacks now affect 84% of UK businesses, and ransomware attacks have surged by 70% in recent years.
A modern take on stress testing
Unlike traditional solutions, Overload.su’s IP stresser relies on proprietary testing techniques powered by Tier 7 dedicated servers and a custom-built network backbone. The result? Realistic, world-class load simulations that no one else on the market can offer.
“Testing for resilience to cyberattacks and simulating adversarial behavior is a major step forward in our mission to increase the UK’s cyber resilience. Test facilities will give consumers greater confidence in the security of connected products,” said Jonathan Ellison, Director of National Resilience at the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (Professional Security Magazine).
Here’s a look at Overload.su’s technology stack:
- High-frequency packet analysis to evaluate network behavior
- Optimized throughput testing for system performance benchmarking
- Advanced assessment tools for comprehensive vulnerability diagnostics
Why load testing is the market of the future
The load testing sector is booming — and for good reason. As digital transformation accelerates, the threat surface expands. Over 111,000 DDoS attacks were reported in the UK alone, with peak attack traffic reaching a jaw-dropping 545.23 Gbps.
“In the era of AI and full-scale digital transformation, load testing has become more vital than ever. The number of enterprise apps powered by AI is expected to grow by 50% annually through 2025,” note tech analysts across the industry.
Overload.su isn’t standing still. In January 2025, the platform underwent a full redesign and increased its server capacity fivefold. Later this year, they plan to roll out new premium plans tailored for large enterprise clients.
Global reach, local focus
Despite having a compact team of just five specialists, Overload.su operates globally, with a sharp focus on IT-driven businesses. What makes them different? Their clients “don’t even think about switching” — a testament to the company’s quality and reliability.
“The reliability and safety of our testing tools, the variety of stress scenarios we simulate, and our instant test execution — that’s what sets us apart,” says McRae.
The future of cybersecurity starts now
With over 70% of darknet activity now targeting the UK and the annual cost of cyberattacks to the British economy topping £27 billion, load testing is no longer a luxury — it’s a lifeline.
Overload.su continues to grow daily, staying one step ahead of cyber threats and delivering cutting-edge tools to help businesses fortify their digital defenses.
