%% Last Updated: - [[2021-02-10]] %% Any type of [[Recorder]] for a [[Protocol-based load testing]] [[Load Testing Tool|tool]] should include a way to filter out requests for resources from certain domains. New load testers commonly ramp up tests that include calls to, for example, [[Google]] or [[Facebook]] APIs, that don't affect the response times of the application they're testing. At worst case, load testing applications you don't own can be considered malicious and illegal behavior. Unfortunately, many recorders capture _all_ traffic, and the typical user of a recorder may not think to remove these requests from the resulting script.
