Store speed scam - shopify speed do not match lighthouse speed - attention!

I’m aware.

Hi @All , here are more scripts that may be designed to trick Pagespeed. Removing the code is not sufficient - a Shopify developer should carefully remove the {%capture pDescription%} and {% capture vendors %} and their corresponding closing tags - {%endcapture%}.

@magefix Do you do this kind of work? If so how much do you charge to remove the code and script?

@root2 explain please

Hi @Diane_Mchugh

Check the attached screenshots - I’ve highlighted the code that needs to be removed.

@magefix thanks. But i don’t have the confidence to make a change to my own code. And that’s not the clearest screenshot…

I’m able to help, send me a private message, and we’ll arrange the delegation process. Or google for “magefix” and email me directly. Please note that the fix will be free of charge.

Hello, you may download all the theme files on your local computer. And then, perform a string search to notice which ones were altered. If you need help, let me know.

I got scammed by the exact same person!

I’ve deleted it from my website.

Thank you!

Thanks for your information!

I got scammed too by this Fiverr “expert”, and I find the exact same coding document.write / document.open / {%capture pDescription%} / {%endcapture%} in his deliverables.

Hello,

Does someone know an honest shopify expert to work efficiently on site speed ?

Just for everyone to know - This is exactly what “shoptimized theme” uses and when you notice that it’s not working with google ads (as you’ll be suspended) and email them, they’ll ask you for access to your store and remove those lines

How do you know if you’ve been suspended?

Scammed as well. Our current developer found the code, and we are fixing it. Again Fiverr. Their “speed optimization” coincides to the day with a severe drop in traffic that we have been unable to explain… until now. Stay away from Fiverr account “shopify_codes”, email is shopifyspeedexperts@gmail.com.

Hello, where do you find this code? We got an acceleration service from someone on Fiver. However, we could not find these codes. He increased our mobile speed from 19 to 89.

Share your site URL.

19 to 89 seems unrealistic unless you guys worked togather intensley to improve your site, or you had a single app that was causing a slow speed.

Here are my five cents from another victim of the “speed” scam. Avoid this “expert” like the plague! Note 5-star reviews (most likely from other “experts”)

I got scammed by this exact same code.

Is there a way to genuinely bump up the Store Speed?
