When you upload an image to your store, we optimize it so it loads as fast as possible.

We’re rebuilding our online store engine—which takes themes and produces your online store—to further optimize for speed.   We’re aiming to reduce server response times for you and all business owners, which helps speed up the buyer experience in the web browser.  

We’re already seeing between 50% and 100% improvement on load times for some online stores powered by the new engine.   Now rolling out to Plus merchants, which will be followed by other merchants later this year

Now available to Plus businesses and all merchants later this year.

There’s two parts of performance. There’s one part that you just get for free for being on Shopify. And that’s something we just invest in every year we’ve been expanding our infrastructure from you know our networking infrastructure. We’ve got points of presence in each continent. Over 80. Distributed around the world, which means that your traffic when you’re on Shopify to the online store is going to be optimized, we take care of your images.
Now, you might not know that when you upload an image to your shop. We make sure it’s optimized. So as fast as possible depending if it’s being viewed on a mobile on your desktop. That’s something you don’t have to care about like we don’t ask you, hey, tell me what optimal image size, we do all that for free. And we’ve been spending a lot of time like making sure that’s actually reality, you don’t have to care about.
And there’s one final piece here that we’ve been investing in for the last almost two years now, which is we’re rebuilding our online store engine, the engine that takes all of your themes and then spits out the actual online store that piece had been rebuilt from scratch. And it’s being deployed right now to merchants. We have several plus merchants on our new online store engine and they’re seeing you know between 50% to 100% improvement on load times for online stores and that’s rolling out right now. And that week, everyone. Again, this is just turned on by default. You don’t have to say anything is just you’re just.
