    Pretty much as the title states... I'm looking for an easy free way to send a bunch of traffic to my site so I can see how the site handles it.

    You could try with Linux command "ab" (Apache benchmark) - http://linux.die.net/man/1/ab - should give you a rough idea. There are tons of load tester software you can get as well that simulates real clicks and people browsing different pages.
