Shopify speed optimisation for UK shops, at a fixed US$950

No. The speed fix is a one-off US$950, and your plan stays as it is, paid to Shopify directly in pounds. These are the plans on Shopify’s UK pricing page, checked 27 October 2026:

• Basic: £25 a month, or £19 a month paid yearly
• Grow: £65 a month, or £49 a month paid yearly
• Advanced: £344 a month, or £259 a month paid yearly
• Plus: from £1,800 a month

Advertising cookies and tags, such as the Meta Pixel or Google Ads, need the visitor’s consent before they run. Since 5 February 2026, cookies used only for analytics statistics don’t, as long as the site explains them clearly and gives a simple, free way to object.

Your banner is something your shop depends on. The script and app audit names what each script costs in speed, and we won’t quietly remove the banner, or make a tag run before consent, to make a number look better.

No. A speed fix works on images, scripts, fonts and theme code, and the layout and design don’t change. Your VAT settings, payments and shipping rates stay as they are.

Online payments by standard card through Shopify Payments cost 2% + 25p on Basic, 1.7% + 25p on Grow and 1.5% + 25p on Advanced. With a payment provider other than Shopify Payments, Shopify adds its own fee of 2%, 1% or 0.6%, depending on the plan.

If you’re setting them up for the first time, our UK page lists what a UK shop needs, with an official source for each point.

Speed optimisation on Shopify mostly means fixing the same five things. Most stores have four of these. Some have all five.

• Images uploaded at full camera resolution and shrunk in the browser
• Apps you stopped using that still load their scripts on every page
• Fonts blocking the first paint
• Sliders and video on the homepage doing more work than they’re worth
• Theme code left behind by whoever built it before

There’s no alert when someone leaves. They tap, wait, and go somewhere else, and it shows up as traffic that never converted rather than as a problem you can see.

Before you pay us anything, we measure five pages of your store and tell you what we’d fix first. After the work, we measure the same five pages again. You get both sets of measurements as files to keep, so you can judge the work yourself rather than take our word for it.

We won’t guarantee a score. Anyone who does either hasn’t looked at your store or is planning to strip out something you need. What we’ll do is measure honestly, fix what can be fixed at theme level, and show you the same pages before and after. If something can’t be fixed without removing a feature you rely on, we’ll tell you and let you decide.

We’ll name it and tell you what it costs you in speed. Then it’s your call. We won’t quietly remove something your store depends on to make a number look better.
