Shopify Store Optimisation Checklist
Shopify already handles a large part of what generic speed tools recommend. This checklist starts by ruling those out, so the work you pay for is work that is actually left.
What Is In The Shopify Store Optimisation Checklist
- What Shopify handles automatically, so you can rule it out of any proposal.
- The four things a merchant actually controls.
- An app audit, including apps that leave code behind after removal.
- A script and tag audit for anything pasted into the theme.
- Theme checks against the numbers Shopify publishes, including the 16 KB bundle limit.
- Core Web Vitals thresholds and the percentile to read them at.
- Five questions to put to a proposal before you sign it.
Why Section One Comes First
Shopify states that many third party performance tool recommendations are irrelevant because those optimisations are already included by default. A generic audit will still list them. Ruling them out first is the fastest way to see what a proposal is really offering.
The full reasoning is in the article this accompanies: What Is Actually Worth Optimising On A Shopify Store.
Prefer Someone To Audit Your Store Speed?
The Shopify store audit is free. The form asks for your store URL and a note on what is eating the time. Send the proposal too if you have one.
