The situation
Every big sale is a gamble. Pages slow down as traffic climbs, checkout errors spike and the team spends the day watching dashboards instead of selling.
Who it’s for
- 01Brands with flash sales, drops or seasonal peaks
- 02Stores failing Core Web Vitals on mobile
- 03Platforms that slow down as the catalogue grows
Risks we remove
What usually goes wrong on this kind of project, and the fix we put in place for each.
Risk 01
Downtime at peak
How we remove it. Load tests at your expected peak plus headroom, run before the event.
Risk 02
Slow pages
How we remove it. Static and edge-cached pages, optimised images and a JavaScript budget per route.
Risk 03
Silent checkout failures
How we remove it. Real-user monitoring and alerts on checkout errors.
How we approach it
Each phase ends with something you can review before the next one starts.
01
Phase 1 of 4
Measure
Baseline field data from Google's Chrome UX Report and your own monitoring.
Fix
Remove the biggest bottlenecks first: rendering, images, scripts and database load.
Prove
Load test at peak and publish before and after numbers with their source.
Hold
Budgets in CI and alerts so speed doesn't decay after launch.

Questions we’re asked
Can you guarantee Core Web Vitals?
We agree target thresholds at the 75th percentile of real users before work starts, and report against them from Google's field data.
Who owns the code?
You do. Repositories live in your organisation from the first commit, and every licence, credential and deployment is in your name.
Do you sign an NDA before we share details?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before any discovery call where you share architecture, data or commercial details.
Book an architecture review
A 60-minute session with a senior architect. We review your current platform, integrations and growth plans, then send a written summary of risks and options.
