هل متجرك يصمد قدّام الزحمة أو يطيح أول ما يدخل عليه 100 زبون

Sahl Tuesday,29 Jul 2025

Imagine this scenario: You run a powerful advertising campaign, create a tempting offer, and suddenly 200 customers enter your store at the same time.
What do you expect to happen? Will the store run smoothly? Or will it freeze and the customer receive an error saying "Server Connection Error"?
This moment could mean the difference between a store selling thousands of riyals or losing customers in seconds.
1. Online traffic isn't constant... but you need to prepare for it.
Visitors don't always arrive in the same numbers, but during promotions, announcements, or seasons like Ramadan, traffic becomes a reality. If your store isn't prepared, it will crash when you need it most.
2. The most important reason why stores crash during times of high traffic:
Many online stores are built on weak hosting or simple programming that can't handle large volumes of visitors. As soon as more than 100 visitors enter, the site begins to slow down or crash. This is when you lose customer trust and even the sales you worked hard to generate.
3. Loading speed is linked to load capacity.
Every second of delay means a lower chance that a customer will complete the purchase. If your store slows down during busy times, customers will leave and go to your competitor. Always think about performance, not just appearance.
4. Pre-configuration is the secret to success.
You don't need to react after the site crashes; you need to prepare beforehand. Review your hosting plan, use a CDN, and make sure your technical team has tested the store under pressure before launching large campaigns.
5. Smart infrastructure serves you in the long run.
If you build your store on a system that's ready to handle growth, you won't have to worry as the number of visitors increases. A strong store operates with the same efficiency whether 5 or 500 visitors visit it.
6. The customer won't excuse you if the store crashes.
From a customer's perspective, any website failure equates to "the store is unprofessional." Even if the problem is technical, the image they get is that the store is unreliable. Traffic should be an opportunity for profit, not a cause for loss.
Your store should always be ready, not just during downtime. Online traffic isn't a problem; on the contrary, it's a golden opportunity if you're prepared.
