Hey Toby,

The traffic during the holiday season is huge, so it might be difficult for your website to stand out among other competitors. It is very important for you to provide a speedy response to the users during that time. So, what should you do?

Here is a checklist of all the things you must test before you go live on Black Friday and Cyber Monday:

Simulate heavy traffic with a load testing solution
Test your devices across multiple devices and platforms
Test your devices across multiple browsers & devices combination
Test your catalog manually
Perform UI/UX testing on coupons
Test your payment methods for different networks and APIs
Test your products with internationalization and localization testing

Hope it helps!
