**Testing external domain or local IP Address?** When load testing a domain from an external network, you get a realistic picture of how your application performs under typical user loads. This includes factors like network latency and real-world internet traffic. However, when testing a local IP address within your network, the focus is on understanding the performance of your internal infrastructure in a controlled environment, without external variables like internet or DNS resolution times. It's particularly useful for identifying potential bottlenecks within your own network or server and for performance tuning of internal applications or servers. This includes tasks such as configuring PHP FPM more effectively, etc.
