Has anyone used SpeedBoostr for their store optimization?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Question about hiring SpeedBoostr for store optimization, with concern over a quick credit-card prompt during signup and a request for user reviews.

SpeedBoostr’s representative responded, acknowledging checkout concerns and offering a free site analysis before purchase via their contact form or Shopify Experts profile. The original poster then expressed confidence and intended to buy the Entrepreneur package, but no follow-up results were shared.

Subsequent posts asked for outcomes from the OP but received none.

Reported experiences were mixed:

  • Positive: helpful on custom app work; notable, immediate site speed improvements.
  • Negative: slow start (about 10 days) with repetitive holding emails; perceived overcharging for minimal deliverables (e.g., a short video summarizing Google Search Console, or GSC, issues); claims that speed/theme fixes created ongoing problems and dependencies; pressure toward ongoing maintenance with a quoted $900/month retainer to keep themes updated; warnings that theme updates could undo their work.

Key issues raised: cost transparency, turnaround time, and whether ongoing retainers are necessary for maintaining optimizations.

Outcome: No clear resolution; thread remains open with unanswered questions about long-term value and maintenance practices.

This is an old thread but we will chime in.

First, they increased our site speed SIGNIFICANTLY! The impact was instant and awesome!!

Then, they wanted to charge outrageous rates to update our theme, telling me I couldn’t update it or I’d lose all their work.

So we went from thrilled to completely frustrated in an instant.

All it takes is a quick email saying move these scripts over and add this to your theme.liquid.

Nope, they want $900 a MONTH retainer to keep the theme updated. :roll_eyes:
