Shopify Store Speed

Find what's slowing the store down, and fix it in the code.

Speed problems on Shopify usually come from third-party scripts, oversized media and leftover code from old apps — not from Shopify itself. I find them with real-user data and fix them in the theme, not with a speed-booster app.

Is this your store?

  • Stores failing Core Web Vitals in Google Search Console.
  • Stores that feel slow on mobile, especially after installing apps.

What's included

  • A Core Web Vitals audit on real-user data

    loading (LCP), responsiveness (INP) and layout shift (CLS).

  • Third-party script cleanup

    deferring or removing what blocks the page.

  • Image and video optimisation.

  • Removing leftover code from apps you've already uninstalled.

  • Theme code fixes, with before-and-after measurements.

How I work

Four steps, from the first call to launch.

  1. 01

    Call

    A short call to understand the store, the goal and the deadline.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A written scope: what I'll build, in what order, and what I need from you.

  3. 03

    Build

    Work ships in small steps on a preview theme, so you see progress as it happens.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Go live, check everything on the live store, and hand over — with support after launch.

What you can count on

  • You talk to the person writing the code
  • A written scope before any build
  • Work ships in small, visible steps
  • Preview before anything goes live
  • Support after launch

From clients

What clients say

  • Uzáir took our brand from a rough idea to a site that actually feels like Balqees. He was thoughtful about every detail and easy to work with from start to finish.
    Salem, Balqees
  • We needed a site that could keep up with how fast Zerolifestyle moves. Uzáir delivered exactly that — clean, fast, and built the way we actually work.
    Daniyal, Zerolifestyle
  • Versusforher's new site captures the brand better than we imagined. Uzáir paid attention to the small interactions that make the whole experience feel premium.
    Saim, Versusforher
  • Beyond the design, Uzáir genuinely cared about how the store performed for our customers. Makeupcity's site feels sharper and runs noticeably smoother now.
    Mohsin, Makeupcity
  • Working with Uzáir was straightforward — clear communication, solid execution, and a final result that fit Imtiaz Super Market's brand perfectly.

Questions

What makes a Shopify store slow?

Usually third-party app scripts loading on every page, oversized images and video, leftover code from uninstalled apps, and Liquid loops that make Shopify's servers work too hard before the page is even sent. Shopify's own hosting is rarely the problem.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Google's three measures of how a page feels to a real visitor: how quickly the main content appears (LCP), how fast the page responds to a tap or click (INP), and how much the layout jumps around while loading (CLS). Google reports them for your store in Search Console.

Do speed-booster apps work?

Mostly not. They add another script to the page and can't remove the ones causing the problem. Speed comes from fixing the theme: deferring or removing scripts, optimising media and cleaning up code.

How much faster will my store get?

That depends on what's causing the slowness, so I measure before promising anything. The audit records your Core Web Vitals first, the fixes are made in the theme, and you get the before-and-after numbers. It's quoted as a fixed price after the audit.
