Is your website ready for Black Friday?

Why is website availability during Black Friday promotions so important?

Increased website traffic during an upcoming promotion is always a big challenge for many organizations with websites. An increase in the number of users on the site can affect the load on your server. Overloaded sites, blocked sites or slow performance means losses for you. Any unforeseen failure has a significant impact on reducing the availability of your site. According to a study by Offerista Group Poland, as many as 87.13% of Poles plan to shop on Black Friday in 2021, of which as many as 40.31% of consumers will conduct transactions online. In addition, the pandemic and accompanying restrictions to some extent limit the possibility of making purchases in a stationary manner. For this reason, many more people will also choose to take advantage of Black Friday promotions by shopping online. Therefore, this is all the more reason why you should ensure that your server is properly monitored and available during the time of increased traffic on your site during Black Friday promotions.

eAuditor system to support site administrators and websites during Black Friday

Website monitoring is a feature that addresses the need to determine real-time availability of your application server and websites. This allows you to have continuous control over the functioning of your site and to detect and respond in a timely manner to emerging failures. When you choose the eAuditor system, you can count on a number of functionalities that will allow you to reign in your sites, even during heavy traffic during Black Friday promotions. Here are some of them:

Unlimited number of monitored sites – monitoring and analyzing the data contained in many websites consumes a lot of time and energy of your employees. That’s why, as part of the website monitoring function in the eAuditor system, you can set any interval (in minutes) defining the unit of time after which an automatic site check (pinging) takes place. Thanks to this functionality, you can monitor the availability of the server in real time, detecting and at the same time preventing situations such as its shutdown.

Determine the actual visibility of the site – a situation in which your server suddenly stops working causes numerous losses to the operation of your business. However, much worse in consequences may be the removal of content from the site, despite the fact that the server is still working. At this point, you may be under the misconception that it is working properly. Therefore, this feature allows you to define a specific phrase that the eAuditor system will search for as part of the site scan. When a specific phrase is not found on the site, the system will notify you.

Server response time – in the console you have a view of interactive widgets, showing, for example, the response time of the servers of the monitored sites. You can also move them around at will, adjusting the appearance and the necessary information to your own preferences.

Recording of service availability – cooperation with entities requires recording the percentage of server availability according to contractual provisions. Having our system, you no longer need to create complicated statements and subsequent tables. The eAuditor system will do it for you and automatically generate information about service activity from any period.
