Website performance

Make the site fast enough that people stay

Theme weight, images, third-party scripts, and Core Web Vitals—treated as conversion work, not a Lighthouse vanity score.

Zqdo improves website and Shopify performance when slow pages are costing you bounce, ad efficiency, or rankings. We find the actual bottleneck, then ship the fix.

The service

Why performance is a commercial service

Slow pages tax every visitor. On mobile, that tax is higher. Paid traffic gets more expensive when landing pages stall. Organic pages bounce before the offer is even read.

On Tennis Express we treated Core Web Vitals, third-party scripts, and template weight as revenue work—not a Lighthouse trophy. The same triage shows up on high-traffic Shopify brands like Tushbaby and American Barbell when apps and theme debt start costing conversion.

On Shopify the usual causes are heavy themes, overlapping apps, oversized media, and Liquid that does too much work. On other CMS platforms it is often plugins, page-builder bloat, and unoptimized images.

Who it’s for

Who this is for

A fit when speed is a known complaint or a measured conversion drag.

  • Shopify merchants with poor Core Web Vitals or a slow PDP
  • Businesses whose mobile bounce rate is obviously wrong
  • Teams that installed apps until the storefront felt heavy
  • Companies preparing a redesign who want speed designed in

Problems we solve

Problems performance work solves

If shoppers mention slowness unprompted, you already have a conversion leak.

  • Product or service pages feel sluggish

    We profile LCP, INP, and the request waterfall on the templates that make money.

  • Apps and plugins are fighting the main thread

    Each script has to earn its keep. Many do not.

  • Images are the whole page weight

    Modern formats, sizing, and lazy-loading patterns are implemented in the theme or CMS.

  • Speed work keeps getting undone

    We leave a maintainable setup so the next app install does not erase the gains.

What’s included

What performance work includes

Diagnosis first. Then a short list of changes that move real metrics.

  • Performance audit

    Lab and field signals, template-level bottlenecks, app/script inventory.

  • Theme or CMS fixes

    Render path, CSS/JS, Liquid or builder cleanup.

  • Media and font strategy

    Images, video, and font loading that protect LCP.

  • Before-and-after measurement

    We capture a baseline so you can see whether the work landed.

FAQ

Performance FAQs

  • Will a faster site increase conversions?

    Often yes, especially on mobile. Performance is one of the few changes that improves the experience for every visitor. It is not a substitute for a weak offer.

  • Can you fix speed without a redesign?

    Usually. Many stores need an audit and a focused implementation, not a new theme. Sometimes the theme itself is the constraint, and we will say so.

  • Is this the same as your performance guides?

    The guides teach the levers. This service is Zqdo doing the diagnosis and the implementation on your storefront or site.

Is the site costing you customers on mobile?

Send the URL. We will tell you whether this is a theme, app, or media problem—and what it takes to fix.
