I get this message on my personal domain: "This configuration contains addresses that has been tested too many times the last 24 hours"

Does this mean somebody is DOSsing my site through your service?

No, it is most likely because your site is loading some object - like urchin.js from google-analytics.com - that a lot of other tests have been loading also. That means that our security checks will think someone is trying to DOS google-analytics.com and so stop your test. We have a list of exclusions that the system should not bother checking (such as google-analytics.com) but the list is not complete so people run into this problem frequently right now.

I am going to fix so that we inform people what the offending URL/object is (rather than just saying "one of the systems involved in the test..."), so they can remove it from their load scripts (if you're a registered user you can edit your load scripts before starting a load test) and also contact us and ask us to put new systems into our exclusion list.
