With Experience Cloud, you can build a wide range of business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) applications that have different performance and scale considerations and optimizations. This section outlines common scenarios, likely performance issues, and the best tools to optimize performance. ### Required Editions
Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
Applies to: LWR and Aura sites
## Sites with a High Volume of Unauthenticated (Guest) User Traffic B2C sites have a high volume of guest user traffic, such as in help centers and community forums. Visitors are more likely to view content than create it. Such sites rapidly serve content to a large volume of users routinely and during traffic spikes. These tools help with high volume guest user traffic. - [Customer Community License](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_license_types_communities.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Serve Your Experience Cloud Site with the Salesforce Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_salesforce_cdn.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) Application](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/lwr/guide/lwr-intro.html) - [Progressive Rendering](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.community_builder_prioritization_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Progressive Rendering prioritizes the display order of your page components.

Users are more likely to view content than create it. Customer portals support high volume user logins and allow customers to self-register. We recommend these tools. - [Customer Community License](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_license_types_communities.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Serve Your Experience Cloud Site with the Salesforce Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_salesforce_cdn.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) Application](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/lwr/guide/lwr-intro.html) - [High-Volume Self-Registration Using Micro-Batching](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.exp_cloud_high_volume_self_reg_apex.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Your Experience Cloud site can handle twice as many self-registration requests at a time when they’re collected into batches and processed asynchronously rather than one at a time.

Examples are marketing sites that collect leads, vaccine scheduling sites, and loan application sites. We recommend these tools for high volume transaction sites. - [Customer Community or Customer Community Plus License](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_license_types_communities.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Serve Your Experience Cloud Site with the Salesforce Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_salesforce_cdn.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Account Role Optimization (ARO)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.networks_partners_optimize_roles.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [High-Volume Self-Registration Using Micro-Batching](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.exp_cloud_high_volume_self_reg_apex.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Your Experience Cloud site can handle twice as many self-registration requests at a time when they’re collected into batches and processed asynchronously rather than one at a time.

Data sharing and access can influence performance and scale. Examples of large-scale portals are channel sales applications and partner sites. We recommend these tools for large-scale B2B sites. - [Customer Community Plus or Partner Community License](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_license_types_communities.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Serve Your Experience Cloud Site with the Salesforce Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_salesforce_cdn.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Account Role Optimization (ARO)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.networks_partners_optimize_roles.htm&type=5&language=en_US) ## Sites Combining Experience Cloud with Other Products Commerce storefronts and Industry solutions are built by using Experience Cloud in combination with other Salesforce products. For example, an online storefront uses Commerce Cloud checkout, cart, product search services, and more. During large sales events, commerce sites typically handle higher than usual traffic volume, so it’s important to know the limits of all the features enabled for the site. Similarly, Experience Cloud implementations are often combined with managed packages from Salesforce ISV providers. It’s important to understand the performance and scale capabilities of both the additional Salesforce features you’re enabling and the ISV capabilities you’re using. Test your site for performance and scale during development and before launch to make sure the combination of Experience Cloud and additional features provides the performance required for your site.
