Shopify Speed Optimization That Doesn't Break Your Store

A fixed-scope PageSpeed sprint for slow Shopify stores, from a specialist who's supported 1,700+ of them.

Slow product pages kill paid traffic. I find out exactly what's slowing your Shopify store down — usually leftover app code, a heavy theme and oversized images — and fix it in a fixed-scope sprint.

What I fix

The usual suspects, handled properly.

Most slow Shopify stores aren't slow because of Shopify. They're slow because of what's been bolted onto the theme over the years.

App script cleanup, including leftover code from uninstalled apps

Theme Liquid, JavaScript and CSS trimming

Image and font loading tuned for mobile shoppers

Third-party pixels and tracking scripts audited and deferred

Core Web Vitals: LCP, INP and CLS

Case study

TektoKnives.com — paid traffic landing on slow product pages.

Paid traffic landed on slow, unclear product pages. The fix: a speed sprint, comparison tables and a 3-step cart-recovery sequence. Read the full story in the speed optimization case study.

How the sprint works

Four steps, fixed scope.

Step 1

Audit

I run your store through PageSpeed and a hands-on review to find exactly what's slowing it down.

Step 2

Prioritized fix list

You get a plain-English list of fixes, ordered by impact, before any work begins.

Step 3

Implementation on a duplicate theme

All work happens on a duplicate theme, so your live store and checkout never break.

Step 4

Before/after report

You get the before-and-after scores in writing, so the improvement is measurable.

Common questions

Shopify speed questions.

Will speed work affect my theme or apps?

No. All work happens on a duplicate theme, and your live store keeps running untouched. Nothing goes live until you've seen it.

How much faster will my store be?

It depends on what the audit finds. Every store is different, so I don't guarantee a specific score — but you get the before-and-after numbers in writing, so the result is measurable.

Do you work with stores outside Buffalo?

Yes. Kenton Commerce serves Shopify stores across the US and Canada, and the whole sprint happens remotely.

Start with the Shopify store you have.

I review it personally and email you three clear fixes within one business day. Start with the report. If it's a fit, you'll get a link to book a 20-minute call.
