How Much Is a Slow Mobile Site Costing You?
The arithmetic between load time and abandoned carts, with your own numbers.
Why it matters for a Shopify store
Most stores are not short of first visits — they are short of second ones. Whatever the subject, it comes back to the same mechanics: how easily somebody gets back to you, whether anything survives between visits, and what it costs you to remind them you exist.
What to do about it
Measure where you stand before changing anything. Your mobile share of traffic, your repeat purchase rate and your cost per acquired order are the three figures that decide whether this subject is worth your attention this quarter or next year.
What we would actually tell you
An app earns its keep on repeat purchases. If your customers buy once and have no reason to return, no amount of design changes that, and we would say so on a call rather than take the money. If they do come back — for a new season, a refill, a replacement — then the question is only whether you reach them for free or pay for them twice.
