Problems We Solve Every Day

If you're experiencing any of these challenges, you're not alone—and we can help.

Slow page load times
Poor Core Web Vitals scores
Mobile performance issues
App bloat slowing down store
Google penalizing for speed

The Challenge You Face

Page speed isn't just a technical metric—it directly impacts your bottom line. Studies show that every 100ms of added load time reduces conversion rates by 1%. If your store takes 4 seconds to load instead of 2, you could be losing 20% of potential sales.

Google also uses page speed as a ranking factor, meaning slow stores get less organic traffic. And with Core Web Vitals becoming increasingly important, poor performance can hurt your visibility in search results.

We specialize in Shopify speed optimization, squeezing every millisecond out of your store without compromising design or functionality. Our approach addresses everything from asset optimization to third-party app bloat to theme code efficiency.

Most stores can achieve dramatic improvements—we've taken stores from 30-second load times to under 2 seconds, and from Lighthouse scores of 20 to 90+. Better yet, these improvements compound: faster pages mean better SEO, better ads performance, and happier customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Results vary, but most stores see 40-70% improvement in load time. We've achieved even greater improvements for particularly bloated stores. We'll give you a realistic estimate after our initial audit.

We test thoroughly after every change. Optimizations are implemented incrementally so we can catch any issues immediately. We've never broken a store during optimization.

Both. Apps are often the biggest performance culprits. We audit all installed apps, recommend consolidation or removal where possible, and optimize the scripts of apps you need to keep.

Performance can degrade over time as new apps and content are added. We set up monitoring and can provide ongoing optimization as part of a retainer. We also document best practices for your team.
