    Why Shopify Optimisation Matters

    Shopify powers over 4 million stores worldwide, but most aren't optimised for maximum performance.

    Speed Optimisation

    Shopify stores should load in under 2.5 seconds. Here's how:

  1. Compress all images to WebP format
  2. Limit installed apps to essentials
  3. Minimise custom JavaScript
  4. Use Shopify's built-in CDN
  5. Theme & UX Best Practices

  6. Clear navigation hierarchy
  7. Mobile-first design approach
  8. Consistent brand styling
  9. Fast, intuitive checkout flow
  10. Shopify SEO Essentials

  11. Optimise title tags and meta descriptions
  12. Use structured data for products
  13. Create collection-specific landing pages
  14. Build internal linking between related products
  15. App Stack Recommendations

    Only install apps that directly drive revenue or improve operations. Essential apps include analytics, email marketing, and reviews.
