AOL.com is reporting on the story above. It caught our attention because it may affect readers checking their internet or a specific service on SpeedTestTools right now.
When massive retail sites roll out early discounts, millions of shoppers rush online at once. High-traffic shopping rushes can strain retail servers and test your home network. If a checkout screen freezes or product pictures refuse to load while you are trying to grab a limited markdown, it is frustrating to wonder whether the retailer is suffering an outage or your own Wi-Fi is dropping the ball.
Before you start filling your cart, take a moment to ensure your connection is running smoothly. Run a quick speed test on your device to make sure your download speeds are stable and responsive. If sale pages stall or will not update, try switching from Wi-Fi to cellular data, or move closer to your router. Refreshing your browser cache or opening an incognito window can also clear up frozen shopping carts caused by heavy server traffic.
A fast, steady internet connection keeps you from losing your place in line when bargain hunting online.
