Your site is still really fast compared with almost all ecommerce sites. I built the backend for a friend of mine's blog and I always use it as an example of how fast the web could be but yours might be a more impressive example:

- nikkwong 8y agoThank you kindly! The site you have attached is also rocket speed! CMS's like shopify offer great value, and are a great starting place even for technical folks. However I think the lack of prioritization they've placed on the performance of sites on their platform has overall been a net negative for e-commerce at large. The mobile experience of most shopify stores is usually atrocious and the inclination to bounce before page load is all too real. I understand they are working with an old stack, and changing course may be nigh impossible at this point. However, I built my stack in 2014, and the dividends of doing something custom vs the status quo have more than paid off.
- whitepoplar 8y agoCheck out http://changelog.com http://changelog.com for an example of a fast (it's the fastest site I've ever used) site that's rendered server-side without any of the SPA madness. It's open source, built on Phoenix and makes good use of Turbolinks. (https://changelog.com/posts/why-we-chose-turbolinks https://changelog.com/posts/why-we-chose-turbolinks)
