How do I monitor site performance on Black Friday?

As an e-commerce business owner preparing for Black Friday, I'm concerned about maintaining site stability and performance during the highest traffic period of the year. I need comprehensive strategies to monitor my website's technical health, prevent crashes, track real-time metrics, and ensure a smooth shopping experience for customers. My biggest fears are site slowdowns, checkout failures, and potential revenue loss during this critical sales event. What are the most effective methods and tools for monitoring site performance during peak shopping periods?
