Shopify Plus Developer

I build the app features your store can own.

The feature stays, and the app's monthly bill and extra code go. Apps that earn their place, like email or loyalty, stay. I measure the page on phones before and after.

How I work

Watch an audit happen, step by step.

This is what I look at on your store before we talk. Press a step, or let it play.

I map what loads.

  • ReadingEvery app and script on your store
  • CostWhat each one costs in load time and monthly fees
  • Leftover codeCode that uninstalled apps left in the theme
  • OverlapMore than one app doing the same job

I decide what stays.

  • KeepEmail and SMS app: it does a job Shopify can't do itself. I make its widget lighter.
  • KeepLoyalty program: it earns its place.
  • RebuildReview display: keep the app that collects reviews, rebuild the display with Shopify's own features.
  • RemoveCountdown banner: Shopify's own features can do this job.

I cut the rest and measure it.

  • RemovedCode that uninstalled apps left in the theme
  • BuiltThe review display, inside the theme
  • MeasuredThe page before and after every change
  • ReportWhat I'd cut and what I'd keep, in the order I'd do it

What I build

When an app should go, I build what replaces it.

A product page, the way most stores have it.

A pop-up, a chat bubble, a banner, a review widget. Each one is a separate app, and each one loads its own code.

One review app added 54 requests to a product page.

I kept the app for collecting reviews and rebuilt only the display, with Shopify's own features. The display I built makes none of those requests.

Apps nobody uses come out.

Along with code that uninstalled apps left in the theme. I measure the page before and after every change.

Your email, SMS and loyalty apps stay.

If an app does a job Shopify can't do itself, it stays, and I look at making its widget lighter.
