Don't miss out, whatever your deadline day

Transfer deadline day is one of the most hotly anticipated events of the football season. Fans of the national game have been keeping up with the gossip on the movers and shakers for weeks. All the rumour and speculation accumulates on a frenzied day of multi-million pound deals – heroes departing for pastures new and the heroes of tomorrow arriving from foreign shores.

You don’t have to be a football expert to understand that for football news websites, August 31 is traditionally one of the busiest days of the year, both in terms of news and traffic. Football fans hang around sites all day, often switching between sources to check the common consensus on the latest Brazilian superstar to grace the Premier League with his presence.

Due to the peaks in traffic, it’s vital that football news sites can cope under the increased pressure. Performance testing-savvy sites will have been evaluating their resource weeks in advance of deadline day to ensure that they are able to offer visitors a seamless user experience.
