The request
“I've had five other Shopify experts tell me they could fix my mobile speed. It's still terrible. Increase site speed on mobile and desktop, and clean up the custom code left behind.”
Multiple rounds of partial work had left the store with layered, conflicting code. The mobile score was the casualty.
The approach
We started by removing what the previous developers had left behind, then addressed mobile specifically: image sizing for small screens, deferred loading for below-the-fold content, and a leaner font setup. We measured after each pass so the retailer could see the score move.
