AUDIT & OPTIMIZE

Find what's costing you conversions. Then fix it.

A Lighthouse audit, a UX review, a heatmap analysis, and a fix sprint. We find the leaks in your funnel and seal them.

Three things that make this engagement different.

Senior-only audits

Every audit is conducted by a senior Carti developer with 5+ years of Shopify experience. Not a junior reading checklists.

Ranked by revenue impact

Every finding includes estimated revenue impact and fix effort. You see the 3 highest-leverage items immediately.

We ship the fixes too

Most agencies audit and disappear. We can hand the report to your team OR implement the fixes ourselves. You choose.

What's included in an audit & optimization.

Core Web Vitals deep dive

LCP, CLS, INP, TBT — full breakdown of what's slow and why. Lighthouse + WebPageTest + real-user data from your store. Specific fixes named, not generic advice.

Conversion funnel analysis

Where visitors drop off, ranked by revenue lost. Cart, checkout, mobile, payment selection — each step audited with screen recordings (Microsoft Clarity) and analytics data.

Technical SEO audit

Site structure, schema markup, sitemap health, indexation issues, canonical conflicts, internal linking density. Google Search Console data analyzed.

Mobile UX review

70%+ of Shopify traffic is mobile. We audit every mobile interaction: tap targets, form usability, sticky CTAs, mobile checkout speed. Real device testing on iOS + Android.

App stack & third-party scripts

Every app on your store gets a keep, replace, kill recommendation based on cost vs. value. Third-party scripts (analytics, chat, popups) get a performance impact score.

Prioritized fix roadmap

Final deliverable: a written roadmap with every issue ranked by impact + effort. Quick wins (hours), medium fixes (days), bigger projects (weeks). You decide what to ship.

What merchants ask before booking audit & optimize.

How is this different from running Lighthouse myself?

Lighthouse tells you something is slow. We tell you which app is causing it, which Liquid section needs rewriting, which image needs replacing, and what it'll cost to fix. The difference between data and a plan. Lighthouse + a senior dev who knows Shopify's quirks is a force multiplier.

What if you find nothing wrong?

Unlikely (most Shopify stores have low-hanging fruit), but possible. If we genuinely can't find $5K of impact within the audit cost, we refund the audit fee and recommend you spend the money elsewhere. We've done this 3 times in 14 years.

Can you audit a store we just launched?

Yes — pre-launch audits are some of our favorite work. Catching issues before launch is 10× cheaper than fixing them after. We'll review your staging store and flag everything from accessibility to conversion to SEO before customers see it.

What happens to my Lighthouse score after a Quick Wins engagement?

Realistic target: +10–20 points on mobile Lighthouse score in 4 weeks. Some stores see +30. We commit to specific score targets in the proposal and refund if we miss by more than 5 points.

Can you audit a Shopify Plus store?

Yes — Plus stores often need audits the most because complexity accumulates. We audit Plus-specific features: Scripts, Flow, checkout extensions, B2B catalogs, custom apps. Plus audits start at $3,000 due to scope.

How do you decide what to fix first?

Revenue impact divided by engineering effort. A 20-minute fix that lifts mobile conversion 0.5% ships first. A 3-week project that lifts conversion 2% ships if the math supports it. Every recommendation has both numbers attached.
