Why Site Speed Matters for Shopify Stores
Site speed measures how quickly your pages load, impacting metrics like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Core Web Vitals. Slow sites frustrate users, spike bounce rates (up 32% for 1-3 second loads), and hurt SEO—Google favors fast pages. In eCommerce, Walmart saw 1% revenue growth per 100ms improvement, making speed a direct profit driver.
