Shopify speed · by hand
Not another app bolting weight onto your theme. I find the bloat that's actually slowing you down, remove it by hand, and show you the before/after, honestly.
A recent result: a multi-region DTC fashion brand
Measured on mobile, throttled to a mid-range phone. The popup is a controlled before/after.
How I work
I test your live store the way Google does, on a mid-range phone on a weak connection, and send a short, honest report hosted just for you: what's slow, why, and how much faster you'd be. If there's nothing worth doing, I'll say so.
Fixed scope and a fixed price, both agreed up front from the teardown, so there are no surprise hours. You get before/after numbers on the same test, or I keep working.
Optional, ongoing. Every app you add and campaign you run adds weight back. For brands that want to stay fast, I monitor and keep it trimmed each month.
Why a person, not an app
Speed apps automate the easy 20%, and routinely break things or leave dead code behind. The other 80% is judgment: which of your apps ships 400 KB you don't need, why your main image loads late, what's safe to defer. That's the part I do by hand.
The asterisks, because you should have them: these are throttled lab measurements, and the popup result is the controlled before/after. I'd rather you trust the numbers than be wowed by them.
Recent example: a multi-region DTC fashion brand (US / UK / EU):
Rebuilt their email popup from a heavy third-party widget into a native one: same signup flow, ~418 KB and ~80 ms gone from every mobile load.
Mobile load (LCP) across home, collection & product pages after putting the main image on the critical path.
Mobile load-speed (LCP) and third-party-weight optimisation on your Shopify theme. Honest measurement. Fixed-scope work you can say yes to.
A redesign, a vague "growth" retainer, or a dashboard you babysit. If you need those, I'll point you to people I trust.
