Having a reliable data analytics setup is incredibly important, but what if it comes at the expense of precious page speed? It’s really no use to offer your users a bad website experience while you’re trying to collect data on their behavior. This is why we put Analyzify to the test to make sure our data layers worked as a performance enhancer and not an adversary to page speed - and spoiler alert, they definitely were not!
But why just take our word for it? Let's review these diverse results together – numbers say more than words ever will!

To make sure the results were consistent, we tested across 3 different page speed monitoring websites ( Page Speed Insights, GTMetrix, and Pingdom ), and tried different combinations of pixels along with our data layers. As you can see, having Analyzify in your Shopify store has no negative impact on page speed, regardless of the additional bytes added to your theme.
And here we are: Analyzify is the perfect solution to quickly and seamlessly revolutionize your shop without taking a toll on your page speed!
( Note: Please keep in mind that the exact numbers of the results may vary depending on the time & day.)
