When is LR preferred over NS

[CuriousCat]

I'm trying to understand when Load Runner (LR) is preferred over Network Simulator (NS), and I'm looking for help from other forum users. Can someone please explain what the key differences are between LR and NS, and give some examples of when one might be better than the other? What benefits does LR have over NS? Are there any drawbacks to using LR? I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice the community could share.

LR (Least Response) is a technique used to optimize web page loading times, while NS (Network Speed) is a measure of how quickly a page can be loaded over a network connection. LR is generally preferred over NS when a website is expected to receive a large amount of traffic, as it can help reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent to the client. Additionally, LR can be useful for websites that have a lot of images or videos, as these can take a long time to load over a network connection. It can also be beneficial for sites that are hosted on a shared server, as LR can help reduce the load on the server by reducing the amount of data that needs to be sent to the client.
