Native builds. Measured before and after.

These are demonstration builds I created to validate that native Shopify can replace common third-party apps — without sacrificing functionality. Each build is fully functional and measured before and after.

They're not client projects. They're proof of concept. When you book an audit, I apply this same methodology to your store — and measure the same way.

Demonstrations

Real measurements. No claims without data.

METAOBJECT ARCHITECTURE

Native Product Reviews

Yotpo: 180KB+ widget JS on Main Thread. Review data held off-platform.

Metaobject + Liquid Render

Review data stored natively in Shopify metaobjects. Zero third-party scripts. Fully indexed by search engines on page load.

BEFORE ~180KBWidget JavaScript payload
AFTER 0KBWidget JavaScript payload

Eliminates Yotpo Growth: $119–$749/mo

METAOBJECT ARCHITECTURE

Native Store Locator

Storemapper: Vendor-rendered. Location data held off-platform.

Metaobject + Google Maps API

Store location data owned in Shopify metaobjects. Rendered server-side via Liquid. No SaaS intermediary between your data and your storefront.

BEFORE ~120KBWidget JavaScript payload
AFTER 0KBWidget JavaScript payload

Eliminates Storemapper: $29–$299/mo

SHOPIFY FUNCTIONS

Native Product Bundling

Bold Bundles: App-layer discount logic. Checkout conflict risk on Plus.

CART TRANSFORM API + RUST

Bundle discounts enforced natively at checkout via Shopify Functions. Zero app overhead. Requires Shopify Plus.

BEFORE ~5–10M instructionsJS boot tax → Rust instruction count
AFTER — / 11M budgetJS boot tax → Rust instruction count

Eliminates Bold Bundles: $29–$299/mo

The same diagnostic applied to your store.

I run the same diagnostic protocol on your store. I map every app to its impact on LCP, TBT, and monthly OpEx — then give you a prioritised plan to recover that speed and cut the monthly overhead.
