Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the audit?

Once provided with Shopify access (via Shopify Partners) and Google Tag Manager (both optional), I take a deep dive into how everything is set up. I provide actionable tasks to increase your Shopify store's performance, written in a way that a competent developer can easily understand and implement. In many cases, I even provide code snippets to save time.

How long does the process take?

Upon instruction, I aim to deliver the audit within two weeks. If you need something more urgent, let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

What access do you need to perform the audit?

Access to your Shopify store (via Shopify Partners) and Google Tag Manager is optional but highly recommended for the most in-depth analysis. If access isn’t possible, I can still perform a detailed audit based on publicly available data, though it may limit some of the insights I can offer.

What happens after the audit?

Once the audit is complete, I’ll send you a detailed report with prioritised recommendations. If needed, we can schedule a call to discuss the findings and next steps, but the report is designed to be clear and actionable on its own. You can implement the recommendations yourself, use your developer, or hire me to assist.

Can you help with implementation or other performance work?

Yes! As an award-winning developer with over 15 years of experience, I can implement the recommended updates if needed. After the audit, I’ll provide an estimate of the cost at £100 per hour. If you don’t need a full audit but have other performance-related concerns, feel free to reach out via email or LinkedIn.

What makes your audit different from automated tools?

Automated tools like Lighthouse or GTmetrix are great for quick checks but limited to synthetic tests under ideal conditions. My audits go beyond these tools with expert, manual analysis tailored to your website. Real User Monitoring (RUM) data is available as an additional service for those who want deeper insights into real-world user experiences.

Will the audit cover mobile and desktop performance?

Yes! I analyze both mobile and desktop performance to ensure your site performs well for all users. With Google’s mobile-first indexing, optimising for mobile is particularly critical.

Do you offer follow-up support?

Yes! I can provide ongoing support to help you implement changes and monitor your site’s performance. I’m also happy to join your Slack channel to answer questions and provide assistance as needed. Follow-up arrangements can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
