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.
