In E-commerce, speed is money. Amazon found that every 100ms of latency costs 1% in sales. We don’t just install a speed app, we re-engineer your theme code. We reduce bloat and optimize assets to ensure your store loads instantly, especially for mobile shoppers.
Uninstalling an app doesn’t mean it’s gone. Most apps leave behind Ghost Code that loads on every page visit, clogging your theme with useless instructions. We perform a Deep Code Scrub, manually hunting down and deleting thousands of lines of dead code to restore your store’s natural speed.
Have you uninstalled apps in the past? Most apps leave code behind in your theme files even after you delete them. This “Ghost Code” loads on every page, slowing down your site. We perform a Deep Code Scrub, manually removing thousands of lines of dead code to lighten your theme.
Shopify makes it easy to install apps, but every app adds external JavaScript requests. If you have 20+ apps, your site creates a traffic jam for the browser. We audit your App Stack. We identify the heaviest apps and help you replace them with lightweight alternatives or custom code.
E-commerce relies on high-quality product photos, but uploading raw images kills load time. We implement Smart Compression. We ensure your images are crisp but optimized (WebP format) and use “Lazy Loading” so images off-screen don’t slow down the initial load.
Does your site turn white for a second before loading? That is caused by scripts blocking the rendering path. We implement Critical CSS and defer non-essential JavaScript. This ensures your customers see your “Buy” button and product title instantly, even on slow 4G connections.
You can’t fix code with another app. That’s why we do Liquid Code Engineering. We manually compress your HTML and CSS, pre-load fonts to prevent visual glitches, and delay heavy third-party scripts (like chat widgets) so they don’t block your customers from shopping.
Google uses these metrics (LCP, CLS, FID) to rank your store. We fix layout shifts and input delays to ensure you pass the test.
We compress your HTML, CSS, and Liquid files. This reduces the file size the browser needs to download, making the site snappier.
We delay the loading of heavy scripts (like Chat widgets or Review popups) until the user actually starts scrolling, prioritizing the shopping experience.
We prevent Flash of Unstyled Text (FOUT) by preloading fonts, making your store look professional from the first millisecond.
We don’t edit your live store. We work in the background on a Duplicate Theme, ensuring your customers can keep shopping without interruption. Only after we have verified the speed boost do we schedule the Theme Swap, giving you instant performance gains with zero downtime.
We run your store through Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, and Shopify Analyzer. We record the baseline scores.
We never touch your live store. We create a Duplicate Theme and work in the background. Your customers can keep shopping while we optimize.
Our developers manually clean the code, compress assets, and re-structure the Liquid files on the duplicate theme.
Once we verify the speed boost on the test theme, we schedule a “Theme Swap.” We publish the optimized theme to live. The result is instant speed with zero downtime.
Adding an app to speed up your site is like adding weight to make a car go faster. It doesn’t work. Speed apps just trick the browser; we actually fix the root cause. See why a One-Time Project that manually removes dead code is superior to a monthly subscription that just adds more bloat.
| Feature | Shopify Speed App | Digix99 Manual Optimization |
| Method | Adds more code to try and trick the browser | Removes code to fix the root cause |
| Ghost Code | Cannot remove old app code | Manually Removes Dead Code |
| Risk | Can break theme layout | Zero (Tested on Copy Theme) |
| Cost | Monthly Fee forever | One-Time Project Fee |
| Result | Temporary Improvement | Permanent Speed Boost |
Speed shouldn’t cost you your brand aesthetic. We answer your top concerns, confirming that our optimization is strictly “under the hood” and will not change your design. We also address the 90+ Score question, explaining why real-world user experience matters more than a vanity metric.
No. We optimize the code under the hood. Your store will look and function exactly the same, it will just load much faster.
A comprehensive optimization usually takes 3-5 business days. We take the time to test on mobile devices to ensure no functionality is broken.
Not all of them. We will advise you if a specific app is destroying your speed (like some heavy page builders). Usually, we can optimize around your apps without needing to delete them.
No. This is a one-time service. Once we clean the code, it stays clean. However, if you install 10 new apps next month, you might need a tune-up later.
We guarantee a significant improvement and a “Green Score” potential. However, if you refuse to remove certain heavy third-party apps (like bulky chat tools), a perfect 100 is mathematically impossible. We will be honest about what is achievable.
Yes. Speed is a confirmed ranking factor for Google, especially for mobile search results. Faster stores rank higher.
No. We work on a preview theme. The live site is never touched until the work is 100% done and tested.
Yes. We have experience with high-volume Plus stores that use complex custom scripts and checkout extensions.
That is even better. Custom themes are easier to optimize than bloated pre-made themes because we have full control over the code structure.
