Getting ready for a big traffic spike like the ones that come around the holidays – and the business that comes with it – can be exciting times for companies…but they can also create a lot of stress and anxiety for teams responsible for making sure everything goes perfectly.

Luckily there’s still 4 things you can do, even after code lock, to make sure you’re prepared. Make sure you know the answers to, and solutions for, the following questions:

  1. Are you 100% prepared for significantly higher load?
  2. Is your plan for rapid root cause analysis and immediate correction water-tight?
  3. What happens if your site can’t handle the mobile volume?
  4. Is your site ready for real world traffic (devices, browsers, different geographies)?

Have you validated that ALL components (your infrastructure, application, 3rd parties, CDNs) have been tested, tuned, and are ready for prime time?
