Improve Website Performance
Page speed is crucial for e-commerce stores. There’s a possibility that your business is losing sales due to a poor user experience caused by lengthy load times. Shopify stores with slow loading times can cause an increase in bounce rate, dissatisfied customers, damaged reputation, lower SERP ranking, lost conversions, and shopping cart abandonment. The faster the website gets for the user, the greater the user experience. It’s that simple.
Dozens of factors can impact your site’s speed – from sluggish servers, errors, page weight, image sizes to obsolete code. Most of these are easy to fix, especially with the EcomBack team on your side.

What Are the Advantages of a Fast-Responding Shopify Store?
- Customers will be loyal to your e-commerce business if the site is easy to buy products from.
- Conversion rates will improve significantly, mainly since slower load times result in higher abandonment rates.
- Mobile traffic performance is ten times better, and visitors get the rapid results they want.
- Google PageSpeed Index rewards faster online stores by ranking them higher in search results.
- This is self-explanatory, but a fast-responding Shopify store will bring a better user experience overall. The site needs to be fast to get customers to stay.
Issues That May Be Slowing Your Website:
- Large image sizes can slow your loading time due to the heavy “page weight,” which refers to not only the size of the picture but also how many images are on a page. In addition, the formatting, resolution, dimension, and quality can all be factors that are hindering your website’s performance.
- Page weight refers to page size as well as the style sheets, documents, and images used. If there is an excessive amount of content on the web page, customers will have a terrible user experience waiting for it to finish loading. A heavy page weight can also mean that there are unnecessary plugins or a high number of requests from your browser.
- There should be as few HTTP requests as possible from the server to the browser in order for your page to load at an optimal speed. This means you may need to reduce image sizes, optimize JavaScript and CSS files, merge JS files, and use a CDN (Content Distribution Network).
- Too many redirects can rank your site lower as well. This can be solved by simply implementing a 301 permanent redirect, adding canonical tags to manage duplicate content, checking for broken links, or even removing old redirects.
- Other issues include render-blocking, unclean code, excessive Flash content, and more
