    Our Solutions

    How We Fix It

    App Impact Audit & Replacement

    We test every installed app individually — measuring its JavaScript weight, render-blocking behavior, and network requests. You get a ranked impact report and for every slow app, a vetted faster alternative with migration steps so you never lose functionality.

    Liquid Template Refactoring

    We audit every template for inefficient loops, redundant Liquid logic, and render-blocking patterns. Each template gets a before/after render-time comparison, and we refactor code to cut server response times and improve TTFB across all page types.

    Image & Media Optimization

    We implement responsive srcsets, modern formats (WebP/AVIF), proper lazy loading, and correct sizing for every image. Product images, hero banners, and collection thumbnails are all optimized without sacrificing visual quality.

    Third-Party Script Control

    Every external script (GTM, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Klaviyo, etc.) is identified and categorized. We defer, async, or remove scripts based on their impact, and provide a full analysis document so your team knows exactly what's running and why.

    Core Web Vitals Engineering

    We target LCP, INP, and CLS individually — fixing layout shifts from dynamic content, optimizing interaction handlers, and preloading critical assets. We monitor real-user CrUX data over 2–4 weeks until all metrics pass Google's 28-day rolling window.

    Performance Safeguarding

    After deployment, we provide 30 days of monitoring to catch regressions from app updates or new content. You also receive a Speed Budget Document with max JS size, image targets, and app limits — so your team doesn't re-break what we fixed.

    Our Process

    How It Works

    01

    Store Staging & Full Audit

    We clone your Shopify store to a secure staging environment and run a full performance audit — PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals, waterfall analysis, and real-device testing. Your live store is never touched during this phase.

    02

    App Impact Ranking

    Every installed app is tested individually for its JavaScript footprint, render-blocking behavior, and network requests. You receive a ranked report showing exactly which apps are costing you speed — and faster alternatives where they exist.

    03

    Optimization Sprint

    1–2Weeks

    Over 1–2 weeks, we implement all fixes on staging: Liquid template refactoring, image delivery optimization, script deferral, font loading, and CSS cleanup. Zero downtime to your live store.

    04

    Core Web Vitals Fine-Tuning

    2–4Weeks

    We monitor real-user field data (CrUX) over 2–4 weeks, making iterative adjustments until LCP, INP, and CLS consistently pass in Google's 28-day rolling window — not just lab scores.

    05

    Deployment & Documentation

    Once validated, all changes are migrated to your live store. You receive complete documentation of every change made, a speed budget for future development, and a before/after performance report.
