Nitropack Alternative for Shopify?

Hi guys,

We are looking to drastically increase our page speed and have found Nitropack.

Nitropack is a paid for service which drastically increases your page speed (see screenshot), however unfortunately this doesnt support Shopify platform.

Does anyone know of a Shopify alternative?

TIA

David

Hi there,
Jack from OpenThinking here!

Some of the features Nitropack offers are already included in your Shopify subscription, such as CDN, image compression, WebP conversion etc.
If you need a full package, tho, you can use an APP.

Just search for "Speed optimizer" in Shopify's App store .

Hyperspeed
Plug in Speed optimizer

let me know if this works for your. If yes; accept my answer and give me thumbs up! Thank you.

Sorry to be brutal to these replies.

Running a compression audit doesn't bring the page speed down. It tells us what we already know.

Writing a reply with the words: how to speed up your Shopify site in 2020 makes people immediately think you are a thirsty clown.

Downloading an app from the Shopify store doesn't even come close to offering the core vital smashing performance of Nitro. 

I wouldn't trust either of these two charlatans to help your site, as they have shown themselves to be meritless in their replies.

Sadly for the OP I thought I'd found the answer with Ezoic, but the server response time is so poor when it routes via Shopify, Cloudflare and then to Ezoic, it sort of undoes any of their work.

Much of their integration blocks basic functionality of your site and for us during a busy shopping season we spent close to £500 fixing it quickly as their support was very slow. 

Didn't even get so much as an apology, just an email from the performance director stating they aren't really ready for Shopify e-commerce. (Doesn't stop them pitching for the business though)

Then you have to run a Google ad script even if you don't run ads, which is most sensible people on Shopify - sadly nothing comes close to what Nitro can do for WordPress sites and without any action or leadership from Shopify on this stuff, their customers will begin leaving the platform come the rude awakening in May 2021.

Hi there,

My team has built a shopify app that does something similar to Nitropack. This app was approved today and is currently unlisted. 

Would any of you be interested in testing it on your stores?

Had to register just for this, if you didn't develop a proper CDN/ JS preloading solution as effective as NitroPack I was about to 😛 

May I also test this for my clients?

And also are you in need of another developer? 🙂

Thanks all for your interest and early feedback. After initial testing, we have decided to focus on optimizing store speed by intelligently loading 3rd party scripts. This improves page speed scores by at least 20 points and in most cases, 40+ points.

Our app is now open to everyone. Please check https://apps.shopify.com/core-web-vitals-booster. We are keeping the app FREE forever for the first 100 users.

We plan to periodically release new features that boost store speed even further.

Hi I installed your app after your support team asked me to use it, could you optimize the app for me? I can give you access to my store, I installed the app had a 10% performance increase  need more help with the other stuff I'm not sure what to do  so have emailed support for help .... I can say the app makes a difference for sure  but have no idea how to input the other stuff asked

@nothappyjan You should receive a reply from our support shortly. In most cases, we don't require store access to tweak the javascript. I'm glad that you are seeing a performance boost right away. We have more features planned in the coming days to increase site performance even more 🙂

Chris, Yes very interested.

I use Nitropack on all my sites, I know how this plugin works.
If yours does much of the same work, that's a doozy.

I'd test-drive it in a heartbeat.

Please PM me.

Try https://leospeed.io/. I am the CEO of the organization that developed it. It works similar to Cloudflare CDN with optimization options like any other competing products. Just to give you some examples, 
We have given increased 
Mobile scores from 53 -> 90, leave aside desktop scores which are improving to 95+. 
You can click contact support on the website or reach out on admin@leospeed.io

How does your plugin/app react with the Shopify CDN? 

manpreet2760

It is working fine on engagebug.leospeed.io, and shopify.leospeed.io. The idea is not to just replace an existing Shopify CDN. To improve the core web vitals, just using a faster CDN won't give a better page speed insights score or GT Metrix score. We need to apply lazy loading for images, delay loading for js, CSS compression and others, which Shopify does not do currently. Our CDN, works as a layer on top of shopify, similar to Cloudflare and does this optimizations to give better core web vitals result

Yeah, I agree I couldn't find anything to help with my sites speed and after several back and forth conversations with Shopify, there wasn't any progress made. I don't think they understand the importance of web speed for mobile devices. I even considered migrating my blog but even setting up redirects to a new platform seems like a dead-end without a lot of aggro. Moving forward I'm going to just use WordPress for my websites unless this issue gets addressed in the future.
