Why Test Your Shopify Store Speed?

Page speed isn't just a technical metric — it directly impacts your revenue. Google has confirmed that page speed is a ranking factor, and research consistently shows that faster-loading stores convert significantly better than slow ones.

Speed = Revenue

8% more conversions
per 0.1s faster

Studies from Google and Deloitte show that even a 0.1-second improvement in load time can increase conversions by 8%. On the flip side, if your store takes more than 3 seconds to load, over 50% of mobile visitors will leave before seeing a single product.

Speed = Google Rankings

CWV are an official
Google ranking signal

Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor for search results. Our tool uses Google's PageSpeed Insights API to measure the same metrics Google uses for search rankings:

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) — How quickly your main content becomes visible. Under 2.5s is "good."
  • First Contentful Paint (FCP) — When the first element renders. Under 1.8s is ideal.
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) — How much your page shifts while loading. Under 0.1 is the target.
  • Total Blocking Time (TBT) — How long JavaScript blocks interaction. Under 200ms is good.

⚠️

The Real Cost of a Slow Store

20+ third-party scripts
on an average Shopify store

For Shopify merchants, speed is especially critical. The average Shopify store loads dozens of third-party scripts from apps like Klaviyo, Judge.me, Loox, and page builders. Each script adds weight to your page, competing for bandwidth and processing power on your customers' devices.

Common culprits: Klaviyo email popups, Judge.me reviews, Loox photo reviews, page builders, chat widgets, upsell apps — each adding 50-500KB of JavaScript.

What Thunder Does Differently

+40 point average
PageSpeed improvement

After running the test, you'll see specific recommendations. The most impactful changes for Shopify stores typically involve optimizing how third-party scripts load. You can do this manually by editing your theme's Liquid templates, or use a tool like Thunder to automate it.

Thunder defers non-critical JavaScript, reduces render-blocking resources, and intelligently manages script execution — automatically, with one click.

What is a good Shopify speed score?
A score of 90-100 is considered good, 50-89 needs improvement, and 0-49 is poor. Most Shopify stores score between 20-50 on mobile due to third-party apps and scripts. With optimization, scores of 70-90+ are achievable.
Why is my Shopify store slow?
The most common causes are: too many third-party apps loading JavaScript, unoptimized images, render-blocking resources, excessive DOM size, and slow server response times. Apps like Klaviyo, Judge.me, and page builders often add significant weight.
How can Thunder improve my Shopify speed score?
Thunder optimizes how third-party scripts load on your store. It defers non-critical JavaScript, reduces render-blocking resources, and intelligently manages script execution. Most stores see a 20-40 point improvement in their PageSpeed score after installing Thunder.
