Shopify Technical Audit — 28 Years of eCommerce Expertise

If your Shopify store feels slow, underperforms in search, or struggles to convert visitors into buyers, a Shopify Technical Audit can unlock its true potential. I’m Nigel Boulton, with 28 years of eCommerce experience, and I specialise in turning good Shopify stores into exceptional ones.

From speed optimisation to SEO, security to user experience, my audits uncover what’s holding you back — and how to fix it.

Google rewards speed — and so do your customers. I’ll make sure your site loads in under 3 seconds by optimising:

  • Image compression & lazy loading.

  • Liquid code efficiency.

  • App load times.

  • Unused CSS & JavaScript removal.

Shopify SEO Audit

Your store needs to be visible in search to grow organically. I check:

  • Clean, keyword-friendly URLs.

  • Meta title & description optimisation.

  • Alt text for all images.

  • Schema markup for rich results.

  • Fixing broken links & 404 errors.

  • Collection and Product Text

Frequently Asked Questions — Shopify Technical Audit

I know that booking a Shopify Technical Audit can feel like a big step, so I’ve answered some of the most common questions I get from store owners. From how the process works to the results you can expect, here’s everything you need to know before we get started.

Q: What is a Shopify Technical Audit?

A Shopify Technical Audit is a full health check for your online store. I review everything from speed and SEO to security and user experience. The goal is simple — to make your store faster, easier to use, and more profitable.

Q: How long does a Shopify Technical Audit take?

Most audits take 3–5 working days depending on the complexity of your store. I take the time to dig into the details so you get actionable insights, not just a generic checklist.

Q: Will the audit affect my live store?

No. All checks are non-intrusive and won’t disrupt your site. If I do need to test anything more technical, I’ll do it in a safe, staging environment first.

Q: Do you implement the fixes as well?

Yes — I can either provide you with a detailed action plan to give to your developer or implement the improvements for you. Many of my clients prefer the “audit + implementation” approach for speed and simplicity.

Q: I’m not based in the UK — can you still audit my Shopify store?

Absolutely. While I’m based in the UK, I work with Shopify merchants worldwide. The principles of speed, SEO, and UX are universal, so the audit works just as well for international stores.

Q: How much does a Shopify Technical Audit cost?

It depends on the size and complexity of your store. I offer fixed-price packages so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start — no hidden fees.

Q: What kind of results can I expect?

Most clients see faster load speeds, improved search rankings, and higher conversion rates within weeks of implementing the recommended changes. Every store is different, but the improvements are often immediate and measurable.

Q: How do I book my audit?

Just get in touch via my contact page or give me a call. I’ll arrange a quick chat to understand your store’s needs and get your audit scheduled.
