Your app stack is costing you. I find what to cut.

I audit your app stack, remove what's wasting your money and slowing your store, and rebuild it clean, using Shopify's own platform instead of more subscriptions.

THE PROBLEM

The Shopify ecosystem is built on a specific incentive: install an app to solve a problem. It works. And then you uninstall the app when you move on. What the ecosystem doesn't tell you is what gets left behind.

Ghost code. Script tags that no longer serve a function but still fire on every page load. Stylesheet blocks from apps you stopped paying for two years ago. Tracking pixels pointing at accounts you've closed.

Your store pays the performance cost of every app you've ever installed, not just the ones you're using now. That's what I audit. That's what I remove.

The process

How I work.

  1. I map everything that's running on your store.

    I trace every script, every app dependency, and every network request. You get a complete picture of what's loading, what's blocking, and what stopped being useful months ago.

  2. I remove what's wasting your budget and slowing your pages.

    Ghost code, redundant apps, render-blocking scripts: gone. Every removal is tested before and after. I don't compress problems. I delete them.

  3. I rebuild what matters using Shopify's own features.

    What you paid an app to do, Shopify can usually do natively, with no monthly fee, no third-party API dependency, and no performance overhead. Code your store's team can own. No dependency on me. No dependency on an app.
