What is the default caching behaviour for each user in a simulation

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to understand what the default caching behaviour for each simulated user is: Do they share some information or are they separated like real web visitors?

Do I have to take some action to make sure that this information are user-related everytime?

  • Cookies
  • Local browser cache
  • Local browser storage
  • Sessions / session storage

Thanks in advance!

Hi @gatlingdan,

You can have such information in HTTP Protocol documentation

And specifically in disableCaching.

Virtual users won’t share information (or it will defeat the whole purpose of simulating tons of users).
Any information shared between users will be on your own code.

Does that help?

Cheers!
