Speed & Performance Specialist for Shopify Stores - and the measurement behind your revenue

I helped an apparel brand improve their mobile Lighthouse score from 7 to 65 three weeks before Black Friday, protecting $18K+ in holiday sales. That's what I do - I find what's slowing your store down and fix it.

The same work keeps surfacing a second problem: stores where the numbers are broken. Pixels firing twice and double-counting conversions. Ad campaigns spending across the whole catalog with no filter on what actually earns. Apps billing every month for work nobody has measured. So alongside speed, I measure what your money - ad spend, apps, tracking - is actually doing, instead of trusting what the platforms and vendors report. Then I fix what the measurement finds.

I specialize in Shopify speed optimization, Core Web Vitals, ad-spend and tracking measurement, and accessibility compliance for established, founder-run stores. I treat speed and ad spend the same way: as revenue problems, not technical checkboxes.

What I work on:

  1. Speed audits and Core Web Vitals optimization

  2. Ad-spend clarity - which products earn your Google/Meta budget, measured per product

  3. Meta Pixel and GA4 tracking setup, audits, and double-counting fixes

  4. App and tool bill audits - is each paid app earning what it charges?

  5. Server-side tracking and attribution contamination fixes

  6. Accessibility compliance (WCAG/ADA)

  7. Ongoing monitoring and technical support via support packs

Key results:

  • 7→65 mobile score, protecting $18K+ in Black Friday sales

  • 74% faster load times across product pages and checkout

  • Traced 302 "critical" accessibility findings to a single widget conflict

  • Longest client relationship: 2+ years with 17+ projects

How I work:

  1. A diagnostic audit measures the actual problem - no guesswork, and the audit fee credits toward the fixes

  2. Phased implementation - you approve each milestone

  3. Every delivery closes with verified before/after numbers and a short list of the next opportunities I found

80+ projects completed. Clients across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Denmark, and Sweden.

Send me your store URL and I'll tell you exactly what's slowing it down - and whether your numbers can be trusted. No commitment needed.

This is the second time we worked with Erick to scope out a project and understand our requirements and specification more, mainly relating to Meta ad attribution and server-side events (and exclusions). The report was delivered clearly and in a timely manner.

Project Value
$100 - $1000
Expert's Response

Thank you, Joe - much appreciated. Meta attribution and server-side events are exactly the kind of problem I enjoy untangling, and the clarity on your side about requirements made both rounds of scoping sharp. Whenever the next question comes up, you know where to find me.

Erick is professional to a fault, takes time to listen and understand what it is your trying to achieve. Designs the scope and plan from there and then executes in a timely manner. Any snagging is addressed promptly and handled professionally. Definitely recommend.

Expert's Response

Thank you, Tony. Working with you on Ready Sweat Go across both rounds was a pleasure - you kept the goals sharp and the feedback fast, which is what made the speed turnaround land the way it did. Glad to have you as a repeat client.

Erick did a great job understanding my situation and I found a path forward with getting help from him. We were able to break down smaller chunks to complete so my website would be updated and functional while other, less important items wait.

Project Value
$100 - $1000
Expert's Response

Thank you, Robert — breaking the work into the right-sized pieces so the store stayed live and functional throughout was exactly the right way to run it, and your clarity on what mattered first made that easy. It was a pleasure.

Erick helped us on two separate projects, and was fast to respond to feedback and resolve any bugs or issues that were found. After a few iterations, the projects were put live with no issues, and a few other small improvements were also suggested and completed free of charge by Erick which was much appreciated. We are now looking at a third project with Erick as we were pleased with the previous work.

Project Value
$100 - $1000
Expert's Response

Thank you — much appreciated. Quick, clear feedback on your side made both projects easy to land cleanly, and the small extras were my pleasure. Glad to be looking at the next one together.

Working with Erick was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He built a completely custom bundle builder for our site — functionality that didn't exist before — and the final product exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, technical skill, and ability to bring our vision to life from scratch is truly impressive. Beyond the development work itself, Erick's customer service was exceptional. He was communicative, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting it right. When we transitioned to a new theme, he went above and beyond to migrate the bundle builder seamlessly — no small task — and made the whole process stress-free for our team. If you're looking for a developer who can tackle complex, custom functionality and actually deliver, Erick is your person. We couldn't be happier with the results and would work with him again without hesitation.

Project Value
$5,000 - $10,000
Expert's Response

Thank you, Megan - this one means a lot. The bundle builder was a favorite build: your team came in with a clear vision, which made building it from scratch a genuine pleasure. And carrying it through the theme transition together says everything about how Ranger Station operates. Grateful for the continued partnership.

Thank you, Judy - this really means a lot. KAMsnaps was a genuine pleasure to work on, and keeping you posted as we worked through each issue mattered to me. I appreciate the kind words, and I'm looking forward to working together again.

Erick and I have worked together over the past few months to improve the functionality and presentation of our Shopify store. Without Erick's guidance and site improvements, we would not have the functioning store I expected when the web design company set it up.

Project Value
$100 - $1000
Expert's Response

Thank you, Roy - I've genuinely valued working alongside you these past months. Getting the store to run and present the way you expected from the start has been rewarding, and your collaboration made it smoother every step. Looking forward to continuing to build on it together.

Erick has done more work in general than any other developer because he gets it done without pushback, does what he says within a timely manner, and notices 911 errors when they happen and will address them accordingly to ensure we are up and running. Nice dude, good at his job. Definitely will continue to have him on our team moving forward.

Project Value
$5,000 - $10,000
Expert's Response

Thanks Devin. The 911s are the ones I care most about getting right - a store that's down can't wait until morning. Good to be on the team.

FAQ

How much will this cost?

I provide accurate quotes only after reviewing your store setup. This protects both of us from scope creep and ensures you don't pay for work you don't need. To get started, I'll need collaborator access to your store, or we can schedule a quick discovery call.

How long will this take?

Timeline depends on project complexity. Simple fixes: 1-3 days. Theme customizations: 1-2 weeks. Complex integrations: 2-4 weeks. I'll provide a specific timeline in your proposal after reviewing your requirements.

How does payment work?

I work through Shopexperts.com, which holds your payment in escrow until you approve the completed work. This protects you - you don't release payment until you're satisfied, and I'm assured payment once the work is done as agreed.
