What is inside
Five steps, from picking pages to keeping speed up
Pick the pages
Home, category, product, cart and checkout: test each, because a store is not one page.
Measure
PageSpeed Insights mobile first, field data versus lab data, and what to write down.
Find the cause
Large images, too much JavaScript, slow server response and layout shift.
Fix safely
Staging first, one change at a time, and measure again.

FAQ
Questions about the page speed checklist
Is the page speed checklist free?
Yes. It is a free one-page PDF and downloads straight away, with no email address needed.
Which pages should I test?
At least the home page, a category or shop page, a single product page, the cart and the checkout. Cart and checkout matter most because they are dynamic and usually cannot be cached like the rest of the site.
What are good LCP, INP and CLS values?
Google treats a page as good when at least 75% of visits have an LCP of 2.5 seconds or less, an INP of 200 milliseconds or less and a CLS of 0.1 or less.
Does Commerce Health measure page speed?
The Free plugin does not run speed tests. PRO measures real-visitor checkout speed in the background. Neither can see your hosting limits.
