I've got a PHP site up and running, and the db is mysql. before launching the site, I would like to test the traffic handling. Now am assuming that there are soe softwares that would simulate the traffic and log the processes running on my site. Any recommendation of software I should use? the traffic doesn't have to be real, but nonetheless, I would like to generate a high traffic to investigate the threshold of the site. Appreciate the help

There are a number of methods that you can use to stress test a network. You can record traffic and then replay it over the network while it is already in use. You can generate a volume of traffic and run it over the network. You can also use simple network utilities to create a lot of traffic, such as a Ping flood.
Load testing is the process of subjecting a computer, peripheral, server, network or application to a work level approaching the limits of its specifications.
WAN Killer software is a random traffic generator that sends network traffic to the IP address and desired hostname. Once you install Engineer's Toolset, you can find WAN Killer under the Diagnostics folder.
You can use Gatling https://github.com/excilys/gatling.
It's a stress tool written in Scala which aims at being more efficient and lighter than Jmeter.
Basically you record a scenario on your website and then run it 'n' times in parallel.
