Christmas Load Issues

As a leading web developer you’ll know that online spending is expected to increase again this year with two-thirds of shoppers saying they are more likely to shop online for Christmas presents. Out of these, seventy-seven per cent plan to carry out half or more of their shopping online over the festive period*. ForLinux are offering a range of proactive support services that will keep you and your clients websites up and running during this critical business period.

Website Load Testing…maximise your customer sales revenue generating opportunities during the run up to Christmas by ensuring your server will cope with the projected increase in traffic. ForLinux can simulate concurrent users through your website to find its maximum visitor limits so that you can plan for the best.

By working with you, we can generate general hits across your site accessed in a random fashion, or even build a route through your website to simulate an actual users actions. This can then be simulated with up to hundreds, with us capturing details from your server to work out its breaking point ([how many customers do you want on your site on the run up to christmas?]). Alternatively, we can target specific elements of your site or application such as a search feature or booking/checkout system; again, we can take this up to hundreds of simulated users at a time to really see what your server can cope with.

Critical Services Monitoring…providing real-time server reporting to our Technical Services Team who will check and manually review server performance and integrity, ensuring your online presence and services are fully available at all times. For full details see our monitoring page.

Adhoc Support…meeting your technical support needs when you need us, you’ll have instant access to highly-skilled Linux professionals who will remedy any server issues you face efficiently and effectively.

Act now by contacting us to discuss your specific needs on 01636 881200 and ensure you and your business have a trouble-free and profitable online Christmas.
