Websites, apps and web services are provisioned with a specific capacity threshold in mind, but when the number of simultaneous users exceeds the capacity threshold, pages become slow or fail to serve at all. All webservers have limits on the number of website visitors they can handle, server scaling and auto-scaling is often technically too challenging, expensive and cannot respond quickly enough to handle sudden spikes in active users, or is not needed to stay online all year round.
That's where our virtual waiting rooms come in. By queuing excess website visitors and passing them back to your site in a steady, first come, first served order, our virtual waiting room helps maintain website responsiveness and avoid crashes during high demand situations. Try Queue-Fair today and see the difference for yourself.
Look no further than Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room software. Our solution is the most secure and accurate on the market, allowing you to maintain optimal transaction rates without the risk of website crashes, slow page load wait times, or frustrated fans and visitors.
Our system provides a fair access solution for everyone to access popular events or products by implementing a virtual queue that assigns a randomised queue number to users who are scheduled to arrive before the sale begins (arriving early visitors), so everyone has an equal chance of being at the front of the queue. This ensures that scalpers and touts can't gain an advantage by arriving early, and that your genuine fans are given the equal chance access they expect to buy tickets to your event or purchase product when the sale begins. Once the queue has opened, it's fair first in first out order for everyone who then arrives.
Even during unexpected traffic spikes, our virtual waiting room helps you manage traffic inflow and avoid downtime costs of losing visitors. Queue-Fair is also the only Virtual Waiting Room solution that smooths momentary peaks into troughs for optimum performance when you are close to your max capacity. By identifying high-traffic hotspots in your traffic flow patterns, you benefit from informed decisions about server scaling without losing your revenue from visitors or incurring unnecessary downtime costs yourself.
Don't let website crashes or slow page load times tarnish your reputation. With Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room, your visitors will be able to see that their requests are being handled swiftly and fairly by our waiting rooms, with their own estimated wait time and with unrivalled responsiveness of your websites and apps. Our secure signature for all visitors arriving from the virtual line ensures that customers can only purchase once per queue position, and that malicious bots are denied access with virtual care for real people.
Best of all, you can get started for free with unlimited capacity. Let Queue-Fair help you sell more effectively and provide a better customer experience for your visitors today.
When managing peak traffic during ticket sales or high-demand events, having a virtual waiting room process is crucial to provide your customers with a smooth and fair customer experience, for your customers, especially when the sale begins. Rather than seeing blank pages or experiencing slow loading times, visitors will be queued fairly and orderly, allowing them to wait patiently for their turn to access your site in the virtual line, with their own estimated wait time and without the dreaded refresh-refresh-refresh that kills your servers. They can stay online or go away from the queue and come back - everyone's place is saved in our first in first out virtual queues.
Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room is not only an effective solution, but also highly secure for all high demand situations. With a unique and unsharable signature for each visitor, we can ensure that malicious bots or scalpers cannot bypass the queue and buy tickets multiple times, leaving more room for genuine fans. Additionally, we can only allow one purchase per customer by deleting queue positions after each completed order, so fans must queue up again if they want to purchase more tickets.
Our Join Token system also ensures that each customer only receives access to one queue position per person in the ticket virtual waiting room, regardless of how many browsers or devices they use, giving you control over everyone having a fair chance to access your event. With advanced filters to prevent bots and malicious users, Queue-Fair's virtual waiting room is the most secure and effective solution for handling high traffic during ticket sales and other high demand situations.

This means that your visitors remain unaffected affected by sudden spikes or unexpected spikes in traffic and will always have a smooth and fair customer experience when accessing your site.

Safety when you need it
Got a ticket sale or online event that's opening at a particular time? Expect heavy traffic at launch time! Queue-Fair provides a pre-sale page to hold visitors away from your site until the sale starts, ensuring that visitors aren't stuck refreshing their browser in anticipation of access to the Add to Basket button. Once the event opens, visitors are queued fairly and sent to your site in a perfectly steady access stream at a speed you control. This ensures that your visitors have a smoother and fairer experience when purchasing tickets or accessing your site during the peak traffic times and periods.
