A Shopify ecommerce store was struggling with slow load times and poor Lighthouse scores across the board. Every core metric was in the orange zone on both mobile and desktop, meaning visitors were bouncing before the page even finished rendering.
What I Did
Compressed and resized images across the entire site to reduce payload without sacrificing visual quality
Removed render-blocking scripts that were delaying the initial page render
Added lazy loading so the page renders before every asset finishes downloading
Audited and improved accessibility, SEO meta tags, and best practices compliance
Results

Every core Lighthouse metric moved from orange into the green zone. Faster load times mean fewer people bounce before the page renders, which directly impacts conversions.
