Quickstart Guide

Get up and running with your first FlashTraffic simulation in under 3 minutes.

Step 1: Create a Campaign

1. Open Campaign Studio from the sidebar or click "New Campaign" in the top navbar.
2. Enter a Campaign Name (e.g. Q4 Landing Page Test).
3. Set your Target Sessions Quota (e.g. 50).
4. Add target landing page URLs manually or click "Crawl More URLs" to discover pages with the built-in link crawler.

Step 2: Choose Traffic Channel & Attribution

Choose how incoming traffic should be attributed:

• Organic Search: Select search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckGo) and add target keywords. FlashTraffic will calculate a combinatorial matrix distribution.
• Social & Referral: Select target social platforms (Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit) or enter a custom referral blog URL.
• Direct Navigation: Clean direct address bar navigation without referrer headers.

Step 3: Configure Browser Behavior

Navigate to the Playwright Engine tab to adjust simulation physics:

• Presets: Choose "Ultra-Fast" (500ms exit, 0ms delay, no scroll) for maximum load throughput, or "Realistic Human" (4-8s dwell, natural Bézier curves, internal link surfing).
• Headless Mode: Run silently in the background or disable headless mode to watch the browser interact with pages live.

Step 4: (Optional) Add Proxies

If you want to simulate global geographic origins:

1. Go to Proxy Orchestrator.
2. Click "URL / Text File" and click "Fetch & Extract" from free sources, or paste your private IP:Port lists.
3. Click "Test All Latencies" and "Prune Dead".
4. Toggle "Enable Proxy" and click "Set Alive to Campaign".

Step 5: Launch & Monitor

Return to the Dashboard and click "Start Campaign". Watch live concurrent visitors, success rate, and real-time execution logs in the interactive console!
