We will create the eCommerce site you need that loads quickly and performs as it should and as customers expect it to.

Utilise outstanding performance and page load times through effective optimisation and enhancements.

No matter what you might think, speed matters when it comes to your Shopify store. If you have an eCommerce store that is slow to load when a customer clicks on a product for more information, you'll quickly find your sales begin to slow.
Customers will spend more time and more money on a site that loads quickly. Can you afford not to properly optimise your site.
Not only does this affect your customer retention and sales, but Google knows how important speed is to customers, and it rewards sites that load faster, leading to better search engine rankings.
Shopify is one of the best eCommerce platforms available - if configure the right way. Straight out of the box, Shopify is not configured to run at optimal speeds, so you need to make sure that your site is performing at its best.

What affects site speed?

There are a number of contributing factors that can affect the speed of a site.
When it comes to your store, the types of things that can slow your site down (and you should monitor closely) include:

⦿The type of server your site is located on
⦿The type of caching you have in place
⦿How images have been added to your site
⦿How many products you have on your site

Let's look at this in detail a bit more, so that you fully understand just how important these aspects are to your sites overall performance.

Server Type

The type of server you host your site on really matters. If you have a cheap $9 per month hosting plan, it will never compared to a dedicated server with a hosting company that knows how important your site is. We ensure that your site is properly hosted so that it can perform at its best.

Caching

Caching refers to the temporary memory of your site. How this is handled will affect how quickly your site loads. Do you have the right caching installed for your site? This affects how your site is displayed to visitors and the load time on the server.

Images

If you use a lot of images, then you need to ensure that you follow best practices, meaning that you should ensure that images are optimised for the Web and not just uploaded straight from a digital camera. This can decrease load times immensely, so is worth ensuring this is being implemented.

Products

If you have a lot of products on your site, you'll need to do special indexing and caching to ensure that your site performs at its best.
