How do I prepare my website for Black Friday traffic?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm anxious about handling the massive surge of traffic during Black Friday. My website needs to be prepared to manage high visitor volumes, prevent crashes, optimize conversion rates, and maximize sales potential. I want to ensure a smooth customer experience, prevent technical failures, and capitalize on this critical shopping period without losing potential revenue due to performance issues or poor user experience.
