Shopify Speed Test

See what’s slowing your store — and who’s responsible.

What a report looks like

What a shopper sees on a phone

  1. Blank screen
  2. Something appears
  3. Still loading
  4. Main content is in

On the slow phone connection Google tests with, shoppers stare at a blank screen for about 3.4 s, and your main content shows up after about 8.1 s.

The biggest share of lost points traces back to your own images and videos.

    A video is too heavy for the speed test to even finish downloading

Why this one

Who’s responsible

Every lost point is tagged theme, app, your content or Shopify — so you know who to talk to.

What PageSpeed misses

Videos too big for Google’s test to finish, scripts baked into your HTML. We flag them anyway.

No score tricks

One run is one reading. Every number links back to PageSpeed so you can check it.

Made it load only when it’s needed. One attribute, and the page looks exactly the same.

Put the cover image back, so the page stops jumping while the video loads.
