There is always confusion between Stress , Performance and Load testing.
Performance Testing: In this we check the performance of the application under various load. The main focus is on the response time by application to process the request under various loads conditions.
Load Testing: It is very similar to Stress testing , In here also we find the breakpoint of the application at which system stop responding . But in this we use stress the application with some unusual stress and those condition can rarely happen in real world.
here are the clarification about these testing techniques.
Stress Testing: This Is usually done to fine the breakpoint of the application . In this Application is stretched to its maximum limit to find the breakpoint of application.

All three are important in one or other way because website needs these things to be done , Stress will tell you at what point it will crash , Performance will tell you with how many users the response time will not be effected and Load we test for the Rare condition what if this type of things happen.
