— What makes this service different

Whole-store performance — not just front-end speed.

Shopify Performance Optimization goes beyond Lighthouse. We tune the storefront, the apps, the theme, the checkout and the operational backend so the entire commerce experience — from PDP to PSL email — performs measurably better.

Full-stack profiling

Frontend, theme, apps, webhooks and ERP integration — all measured.

Operational tuning

Webhook fan-out, Flow latency and admin search profiled and optimised.

Outcome dashboards

Performance work tied to revenue and ops KPIs in a shared dashboard.

Storefronts that feel instant — by design.

Theme code-splitting, edge-cached metaobject content, image budgets and a CI gate that blocks regressions before they hit production.

Storefronts that feel instant — by design.
Our practice
Performance Practice

Theme audited

Render-blocking JS removed, third-party tags deferred, critical CSS inlined.

  • Defer non-critical JS
  • Inline critical CSS
  • Preload key assets

Edge images

AVIF / WebP via Shopify CDN, responsive srcsets, art-direction with picture.

  • AVIF + WebP
  • Per-breakpoint sizes
  • Lazy + eager mix

Web Vitals CI

Lighthouse CI on every PR — builds blocked on LCP, INP and CLS regressions.

  • LCP / INP / CLS gates
  • Field + lab data
  • Per-route budgets

RUM-first

Real users, not lab numbers, drive priorities — rolled up by device, geo and theme template.

  • Per-template trends
  • Alerting on regressions

— Engineering Principles

Six principles we don’t negotiate on.

01
Performance is a feature

We ship with measurable budgets — TTFB, LCP, INP — enforced in CI. Storefront regressions don’t merge.

02
Theme apps over forks

We use Theme app extensions, sections, and metaobjects so your store stays upgrade-safe across every Shopify edition.

03
Observability before launch

Web Vitals, RUM, Shopify Functions logs and synthetic checks are configured before the first real customer.

04
Privacy as a baseline

GDPR/CCPA-aware data flows, consent-mode tagging and PII redaction at the edge — by default, not by retrofit.

05
Documentation is delivery

Theme docs, component library, runbooks and onboarding ship with the code — your team owns it from day one.

06
Senior, end-to-end

No first-line agents, no junior hand-offs. The architect who scopes your work is the one accountable for shipping it.

— FAQ

Shopify questions, answered.

How is this different from speed optimisation? +

Speed optimisation focuses on the storefront LCP/INP. Performance optimisation also tunes apps, webhooks, admin and ops — the things merchants and staff feel daily.

Do you measure backend performance? +

Yes — webhook delivery, Flow execution latency, admin search and integration round-trips are all instrumented.

Will Plus features benefit too? +

Significantly — Functions, Launchpad and B2B all benefit from our profiling and tuning, especially around peak campaigns.

How do I know it worked? +

Shared Looker/Metabase dashboard with baselines and weekly delta reports for the duration of the engagement.
