Shopify Speed Optimization Expert for Hire
Who Measures Everything
Every second of load time costs conversion and ad efficiency. I optimize Shopify stores against hard Core Web Vitals budgets — with before/after numbers to prove it.

Milliseconds, accounted for
Shopify speed problems are almost never the platform — they are app sprawl, unoptimized themes, render-blocking scripts, and images served like it is 2015. The fix is engineering, not another ‘speed booster’ app. A Shopify speed optimization expert for hire should show you waterfall charts, not promises.
I am Omer Muneer Qazi, Senior Shopify Developer (ex-Integriti) with 15+ years of experience. I optimize the methodical way: measure with field and lab data, attribute every millisecond, fix in impact order, verify against the same metrics. Faster pages lift conversion and protect SEO — the highest-ROI project most stores have not done. Part of my ecommerce practice; get a performance read.
Numeric targets, verified after
- Performance audit — lab and field data (CrUX, Lighthouse, WebPageTest) per template: LCP, INP, CLS broken down by cause — the waterfall annotated, not a generic score.
- App bloat removal — every app audited for performance cost vs. business value — unused app code surgically removed, heavy apps deferred or replaced.
- Theme and Liquid refactor — render-blocking resources eliminated, critical CSS inlined, Liquid loops optimized — the theme gets faster without looking different.
- Media pipeline — responsive images with correct sizes, modern formats (AVIF/WebP), lazy-loading discipline, video facades — imagery is usually 60%+ of page weight.
- Third-party script governance — tag manager audit: every pixel and widget justified, deferred, or removed — plus a script budget so marketing cannot re-slow the store.
- Verification report — before/after metrics across templates and devices, with the business translation: expected conversion and SEO impact.
