Why Test Your Shopify Store Speed?

Page speed isn't just a technical metric — it directly impacts your revenue. Google has confirmed that page speed is a ranking factor, and research consistently shows that faster-loading stores convert significantly better than slow ones.

For Shopify merchants, speed is especially critical. The average Shopify store loads dozens of third-party scripts from apps like Klaviyo, Judge.me, Loox, and page builders. Each script adds weight to your page, competing for bandwidth and processing power on your customers' devices.

The Real Cost of a Slow Store

Studies from Google and Deloitte show that even a 0.1-second improvement in load time can increase conversions by 8%. On the flip side, if your store takes more than 3 seconds to load, over 50% of mobile visitors will leave before seeing a single product.

Consider these numbers: if your store gets 10,000 monthly visitors and a 1% conversion rate with a $50 average order value, a speed improvement that reduces bounce rate by just 10% could mean an extra $5,000/month in revenue — with zero additional ad spend.

What This Speed Test Measures

Our tool uses Google's PageSpeed Insights API to run a comprehensive analysis of your Shopify store, measuring the same Core Web Vitals that Google uses for search rankings:

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) — How quickly your main content becomes visible. Google considers under 2.5 seconds "good."
  • First Contentful Paint (FCP) — When the first element renders on screen. Under 1.8 seconds is ideal.
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) — How much your page layout shifts while loading. Under 0.1 is the target.
  • Total Blocking Time (TBT) — How long JavaScript blocks user interaction. Under 200ms is considered good.

How to Improve Your Score

After running the test, you'll see specific recommendations tailored to your store. The most impactful changes for Shopify stores typically involve optimizing how third-party scripts load — which is exactly what Thunder automates. Rather than manually editing theme code or removing essential apps, Thunder intelligently manages script loading to minimize performance impact.

Run the test above to see your current score and discover exactly what's slowing your store down.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Shopify speed test work?

What is a good Shopify speed score?
A score of 90-100 is considered good, 50-89 needs improvement, and 0-49 is poor. Most Shopify stores score between 20-50 on mobile due to third-party apps and scripts. With optimization, scores of 70-90+ are achievable.
Why is my Shopify store slow?
The most common causes are: too many third-party apps loading JavaScript, unoptimized images, render-blocking resources, excessive DOM size, and slow server response times. Apps like Klaviyo, Judge.me, and page builders often add significant weight.
How can Thunder improve my Shopify speed score?
Thunder optimizes how third-party scripts load on your store. It defers non-critical JavaScript, reduces render-blocking resources, and intelligently manages script execution. Most stores see a 20-40 point improvement in their PageSpeed score after installing Thunder.
