A big sale is exciting, but a website that cannot handle the traffic or process orders smoothly turns excitement into lost revenue fast.
Confirm Your Hosting Can Handle the Traffic
If you expect a meaningful traffic spike, make sure your WordPress Hosting plan has the resources to support it without slowing down.
Back Up Before You Launch
Always take a fresh Website Backup before making any changes, so you have a safe restore point if something goes wrong.
Double Check Your Security
Sales periods attract more bot traffic and attempted attacks. Confirm Website Security is active and current.
Test the Checkout Experience
Walk through your own checkout process as a customer would, on both desktop and mobile, before the sale goes live.
Confirm Your Email Is Ready
Order confirmations and customer questions will increase. Make sure Professional Email is set up so nothing lands in spam or gets missed.
Next Step
A little preparation prevents a lot of stress once the sale is live.
