shopify-speed-optimization — Claude Code skill: Shopify speed audit
A skill that digs into what slows a Shopify store down: lazy loading, image weight, app bloat and theme code.
npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill shopify-speed-optimization -a claude-codeWhat shopify-speed-optimization does
The skill runs a speed audit of a Shopify store. It looks at your current setup, spots what can be sped up, and produces a step-by-step implementation plan matched to your business stage. The scope covers lazy loading, image compression, removing bloated apps and optimizing theme code.
You get a current-state assessment, priority actions from quick wins to long-term work, a cost comparison of tools and apps, an implementation timeline and KPIs to track. There is no direct Shopify API integration, so this is strategic guidance rather than an automatic fix. Validate the recommendations against your own store data — general best practices do not always match a specific case.
Install runs through npx skills add, and the skill file lands at ~/.claude/skills/shopify-speed-optimization/SKILL.md. The skill is marked Beta, so some advice may shift as it gets exercised.
What it helps with
- find what is actually slowing store load times
- compress images without hurting the storefront
- drop apps that pull in extra scripts
- rewrite theme code for faster rendering
- build a speed plan with priorities and a timeline
Example prompts for the agent

- Audit my current speed setup and suggest improvements
