As a tester, I will test features by asking the following questions,

-Which functionality is the core functionality?
- Which functionality if fails affects the core purpose of website?
- Which functional area deals with finance (money transfer)?
- Which browser audience uses more?
- What is the performance benchmark?
- Timings with maximum web traffic?

By doing the risk analysis , i will test, with the mission to attack the high risk areas first and making sure it is not breaking.

Typically in these circumstances, the test team has a relatively short test window. Identify the most mission-critical functionalities and those with highest risk among the high priority test cases and test them first.  Mission-critical tests might include financial and security functions.  Then test the remaining high priority test cases if you have enough time.  There usually isn't time to test anything else.  Nevertheless, if possible, try to touch all core functionalities.
