Load regulation
The change in output voltage as load current varies across the specified range, set mainly by the regulator's open-loop gain and output impedance. It determines how much a rail sags when a digital block suddenly draws current.

Notes
Transient load response is a separate and usually more troublesome spec, dominated by loop bandwidth and output capacitance.
