FAQ`s
Have Questions on
Shopify Optimization?
Do you just install a Shopify app to improve speed?
No. Most speed apps add more code. We optimize Liquid templates, remove unnecessary scripts, and correct theme inefficiencies at the source.
Will speed optimization break my Shopify theme or checkout?
No. We work in a staging theme, test all flows, and only apply changes once validated.
What access do you need to get started?
We’ll need Shopify admin access, CDN/Cloudflare credentials (if used), and occasionally theme or dev access.
Are apps slowing my Shopify store?
Often, yes. Each app adds code and trackers. Remove or combine apps, use built-in features, delay non-essential scripts, and only load code on pages that need it.
I removed apps, but my Shopify is still slow. Why?
Uninstalled apps leave “zombie” code. Then, clean your Liquid snippets, app blocks, and included theme snippets. Delete unused sections, and check theme.liquid for leftover scripts.
Can you work alongside our Shopify developer or agency?
Yes, we can work with your Shopify developer or agency. Many clients bring us in after internal attempts have stalled. We collaborate directly with your devs or provide clear implementation guidance.
Do you work with Shopify Plus stores?
Yes. We regularly optimize Shopify Plus brands with large inventories and complex setups, improving speed at scale.
What makes PageSpeed Matters different from cheaper Shopify services?
We don’t game Lighthouse or hide assets to inflate scores. We use real user monitoring, document every change, and focus on actual customer experience.
