The 12 things that break first when traffic spikes
These are the areas that most often cost orders on sale days. Each question links to a guide that explains how to fix it.
Speed and checkout
Slow pages and long checkouts lose buyers before they pay. Mobile matters most.
Payments and COD
Failed payments and unverified cash-on-delivery orders hurt both revenue and margin.
Delivery and stock
Clear delivery promises and a stock plan keep sales from turning into support tickets.
Offers, tracking, messaging
Tested offers, working analytics and live cart-recovery messages protect the spend you put in.

What is a peak-season readiness check?
It is a short self-assessment of the 12 areas that most often cause problems when traffic spikes during sales such as Diwali and Black Friday: speed, checkout, payments, cash on delivery and returns, delivery, stock, offers, tracking, messaging, support and change control.
Is this a speed test of my store?
No. It is a self-assessment based on your answers. It points to likely gaps but does not measure your store. For measured results, run PageSpeed Insights or ask for a free review.
Does it cost anything, and do I need to sign up?
No. The score is free and shows immediately with no sign-up. You only share details if you choose to contact us.
What happens to my answers?
Your answers are scored in your browser. We only record anonymous totals in our analytics, such as the final score. Nothing identifies you unless you message us or book a call.
When should I fix these things before a sale?
Aim to finish fixes and test them before the sale, and freeze non-essential changes a few days ahead, because checkout, speed and tracking changes need testing time. Start sooner if several answers are "Not yet".
Does it work for stores outside India?
Yes. Most questions apply to any Shopify store selling during a peak season, including Black Friday in the US and UK. The question about cash on delivery can be marked as not applicable.
