Another exciting Black Friday and Cyber Monday are in the books! Kicking off the longest holiday shopping season in awhile, U.S. shoppers broke records yet again. Notably, 54% of purchases were made on phones, $2.1 billion was spent on buying smartphones, and just like 2017, Cyber Monday overpowers Black Friday as the biggest shopping day of the year. Here at SiteSpect we saw some records as well. We delivered fast, optimized experiences during the critical weekend. Further, we saw some huge growth ourselves and are proud to share.
