Why App Bloat Is a Problem
Shopify's biggest strength - an ecosystem of powerful apps - can also be its weakness. Each app adds scripts, styles, and widgets that slow down your store. Even if they're not visible, they're often still loading.
Slow load times hurt SEO, increase bounce rates, and decrease conversion rates.
The App Dilemma
The average Shopify store has 6+ apps installed. Each one can add hundreds of KB of JavaScript and multiple API calls that block page rendering.
You need the functionality, but can't afford the speed penalty.
JavaScript Overload
App scripts compete for CPU resources and network bandwidth, with each one potentially blocking the main thread and delaying interactivity.
This is especially problematic on mobile devices with limited processing power.
What Hyperspeed Does
Hyperspeed gives you control over third-party app impact without uninstalling anything, so you can have both functionality and speed:
Defers Non-critical Apps
Hyperspeed intelligently delays the loading of non-essential scripts until after your critical content appears and user interaction begins.
This means your store looks loaded and responsive while heavy app scripts initialize in the background.
Page-Specific Loading
Loads app scripts only on pages where they're actually needed, not across your entire store.
For example, review apps only load on product pages, while analytics might run store-wide. You decide what loads where.
Safe By Default
We've pre-identified hundreds of common Shopify app scripts and marked them safe to defer. App optimization works out of the box with no configuration needed, but you still have full control:
