Is your e-commerce site ready for the next traffic spike?
Qim Info offers 5 checks to evaluate your platform, identify areas of concern, and better prepare for your next traffic spikes.
What We Often See
- An LCP of more than 2.5 seconds already degrades the user experience.
- The tests do not always reproduce the sudden spikes.
- An alert every 30 minutes might miss a deterioration.
- A page may take more than 20 seconds to load.
What We Can Help You Solve
- Maintain a target LCP of ≤ 2.5 seconds on key routes.
- Test the maximum traffic load for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Check every 2 to 5 minutes during the peak.
- Also test the routes on mobile and constrained networks.

We have transformed what was previously an intuitive process into a concrete action plan, with clearly defined thresholds, tests, and responsibilities.

Why We Created This Guide
During a traffic spike, a website may remain online but degrade the user experience to the point of driving users away.
My team and I analyzed 10 Swiss e-commerce sites to provide you with a practical framework: to assess your level of proficiency, identify your weak points, and determine where to take action before the next peak.

Your questions:
— our answers
We already have a monitoring system. Will this guide be useful to us?
Yes. The goal isn’t to add another tool, but to ensure that every detected issue corresponds to a threshold, a person in charge, and a clear course of action.
Do the recommendations apply to our environment?
The guide provides a method and benchmarks. The thresholds and scenarios should be adapted to your critical pathways and your workload.
Is this a theoretical guide or one that can be put to immediate use?
Each recommendation combines an assessment, checks, and actions; a self-assessment grid then helps identify areas that are not under control and the next priority to address.
