Every second of delay
costs you 7% of revenue.

We fix Core Web Vitals, shrink your bundles, and rebuild your image pipeline — turning 4-second load times into sub-second experiences that convert.

01The Fundamentals

The four metrics that decide your fate.

Google ranks your store on these. Users feel them instantly. We fix them all.

LCP
Largest Contentful Paint
What users feel

Your hero image takes 4+ seconds to appear. Visitors see a blank screen and leave.

Our fix

Edge-cached hero image, priority hints, next/image with AVIF, streaming SSR

Target< 2.5s
CLS
Cumulative Layout Shift
What users feel

Content jumps around as the page loads. Users tap the wrong button, then abandon.

Our fix

Explicit image dimensions, font-display: swap, reserved ad slots, no late-loading banners

Target< 0.1
INP
Interaction to Next Paint
What users feel

Tapping a button feels laggy. Users think the site is broken and try again — then leave.

Our fix

Break up long tasks, defer non-critical JS, web workers for heavy compute, code splitting

Target< 200ms
TTFB
Time to First Byte
What users feel

The server takes over a second just to respond. Everything downstream waits on this.

Our fix

Edge deployment, ISR caching, Storefront API batching, warm serverless functions

Target< 800ms

03The Bottlenecks

The six things slowing you down.

We've audited hundreds of stores. These are the culprits, in order of how much speed they steal.

Unoptimised hero images

A 2.8MB PNG where a 90KB AVIF would work identically. This single asset alone often adds 2+ seconds to LCP.

Present in 80% of slow stores

Third-party scripts blocking render

Klaviyo, Judge.me, Gorgias, Hotjar, GA4, TikTok Pixel — each one adds 100–400ms. Together they can add 3+ seconds.

Average store loads 14 tracking scripts

Fonts loading from Google CDN

Every webfont request hits an external domain, triggering DNS + TLS handshake. Two fonts = 600ms of pure waiting.

95% of stores load fonts inefficiently

Unbounded Liquid loops

Shopify themes often loop through collections with no pagination. Each loop is a server-side query, multiplied by every product.

Invisible cost in legacy themes

No CDN-level caching

Every visit hits your origin server. No edge caching, no stale-while-revalidate. TTFB climbs under load.

Typical TTFB: 900ms–1.8s

Layout shift from ads and popups

Klaviyo popups, discount banners, cookie consent — all load late and shove content around. CLS breaks immediately.

Causes 60% of CLS failures
04The Process

Six weeks. Measurable every step.

You see progress from Week 2. Full Core Web Vitals fixes by Week 5. Before/after reports at every milestone.

Week 1
01

Full Performance Audit

We benchmark your store on real devices — not just synthetic tests. Lighthouse, WebPageTest, Chrome UX Report, and field data. You get a written report with every bottleneck ranked by revenue impact.

Week 2
02

Image & Font Pipeline

The biggest quick wins. We rebuild your image pipeline with AVIF/WebP, responsive srcsets, priority hints, and CDN delivery. Fonts get subset, self-hosted, and preloaded. This alone often recovers 1.5–2.5 seconds of LCP.

Script Audit & Cleanup

We audit every third-party script, move non-critical ones to web workers or defer them, and eliminate duplicates. Tag managers get streamlined. This recovers INP and stops render blocking.

Core Web Vitals Fixes

Now the deep work: break up long tasks, add explicit dimensions everywhere, reserve space for ads, and implement stale-while-revalidate. We target LCP < 1s and CLS = 0.

Validation & Monitoring

We validate with PageSpeed Insights, WebPageTest, and real-user monitoring. You get a before/after report and 30 days of daily monitoring to catch any regression.

The Performance Guarantee

Sub-1s LCP, 90+ Lighthouse, or we work free until it does.

Measured on mobile, on real devices, against Google's own PageSpeed data. If we miss the target, we keep going — at no additional cost — until we hit it.

06The Proof

Real stores. Real speed gains.

07The Questions

Everything you might ask before trusting us with speed.

Yes — measurably. Google's own data shows 1s delays cost 7% of conversions. Deloitte found 0.1s improvements lift retail conversions 8.4%. Our clients typically see 15–60% CVR lift after a full performance overhaul.
