Don't Lose Black Friday Customers To Site Crashes
What happens when you don't invest in Black Friday testing?
Every Black Friday season, e-commerce and retail organizations lose customers due to website crashes. When websites slow down or stop due to extra traffic, you lose potential customers to the competition. It’s that simple.
And once a customer leaves your site, who knows if they’ll ever come back.
On the other hand, organizations that test before Black Friday create a seamless user experience under any load, minimizing errors and maximizing throughput. See the results for yourselves:
