How do I handle high-traffic during sales events?

I'm running an e-commerce store and I'm worried about managing website performance during major sales events like Black Friday or holiday promotions. In previous years, I've experienced site crashes, slow loading times, and lost sales due to technical infrastructure limitations. I need a comprehensive strategy to ensure my online store can handle massive traffic spikes, maintain fast page speeds, prevent checkout bottlenecks, and maximize conversion rates during these critical high-volume periods.
