Shopify speed and ad tracking fixes: for stores where the ads bring visitors but not sales I help Shopify stores sell more to the visitors you already pay to bring in. I find the spots where shoppers give up, and then I fix them. One example. A clothing brand's product pages took 15.4 seconds to load. Five weeks before Black Friday, I got them to 7.4 seconds. That is the job: I find what slows your store down, and I fix it. The same work keeps finding a second problem: numbers you cannot trust. The code that tells Meta or Google about a sale fires twice, so sales count double. Ads run across every product, with no check on which ones earn. Apps bill every month for work nobody has measured. So I also check what your money is really doing, instead of trusting what Google, Meta and the apps say. Then I fix what I find. I work with established stores run by their founders. To me, speed and ad spend are sales problems, not technical boxes to tick. What I work on, eight ways in: Speed check. I measure how fast your pages load for real shoppers on a phone. I find what makes them wait, and I fix it. Accessibility check. I test your store the way a keyboard user or a screen reader meets it. I check whether a widget sits on top of problems it does not fix. You get the findings in the order a complaint would reach them. Shopify deadline check. Shopify changes its rules on set dates. Scripts ended on 30 June. Order status script tags ended on 26 August. I find what has already stopped working on your store and what is dated ahead, and I make the repairs. Tracking and attribution fix. Meta Pixel, GA4 (Google Analytics) and server-side tracking. I remove the double counting and prove it in your own dashboards. Ad spend by product and the app bill get read in the same pass. Google and Meta recovery. Your products stopped showing on Google or Meta. I find where the connection broke and get them showing again. Sale price check. AI shopping tools, like ChatGPT, now get your "was" prices from Shopify. I check that yours reach them right. Builds and theme upgrades. New sections and modern themes, with your custom work and your tracking still running. Every change to the live site has a way back. Partner Seat. 25 hours a month. I watch speed, the pages customers see, broken links, tracking and app bills. Your work goes first in the queue. Each check is $285. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Key results: Product page load time cut from 15.4 seconds to 7.4 seconds, 52% faster. Mobile PageSpeed on product pages from 18 to 28. The apps the client chose stayed in place, at their call. Two apps were billing to track what the store's own Google channel already did. I removed them, checked the tracking was clean, and took $199 a year off the app bill. Repeat clients going back to 2018. One store has come back for 14 projects over four years. How I work: A paid check first. It measures the real problem, no guessing. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Work in stages. You approve each one. Every delivery ends with before and after numbers, and a short list of the next things I found. 80+ projects done. Clients in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Denmark. Send me your store address. I will tell you what slows it down, whether your numbers add up, and what a complaint would find first. No commitment.

I'm a Shopify developer with years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce stores — from custom theme development to conversion rate optimization and third-party integrations. I've worked with brands like Après Nail and through platforms like Storetasker, delivering solutions that look great and perform even better. I specialize in Liquid programming, frontend development, and UI/UX enhancement. Whether you need a full theme build, a tricky app integration, or a speed and SEO overhaul, I bring a detail-oriented approach that gets results — not just code. I leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot throughout my workflow — drafting Liquid logic faster, QA-testing edge cases, and generating content-ready section structures. This means faster turnaround, fewer revisions, and more value for your budget. My background spans custom store builds, GA4 + GTM tracking setups, Klaviyo integrations, loyalty app configurations, A/B testing, and cross-functional collaboration with design and marketing teams. I treat every project like it's my own store on the line. I'm a Computer Software Engineering graduate and Growth Collective certified in Creative Website Design (Shopify). Let's build something that converts.

Logging in from Austin, TX, I'm a seasoned eCommerce and Conversion Rate Optimization(CRO) expert with over 20 years of experience in the online space, with 12 of those years in ecommerce, helping brands scale and maximize profitability. As the founder of MHT Media, I've led hundreds projects, leveraging data-driven strategies to optimize customer journeys generating real revenue. Here are some brands I've worked with. • Giantmouse (Shopify Plus) • Mad Viking Beard (Shopify Plus) • BlackMask Products (Shopify Plus) • ClaimSimple (WooCommerce) • Pastest (Shopify Plus) • Spaze (Shopify Plus) • And Arlen (Shopify)...and many others!

Shopify stores that earn their keep. I run Graftstudio, the technical and commercial lead for mid-market DTC brands on Shopify Plus. Brands bring me in when the store has outgrown the people who set it up. I find what it's costing, fix what the numbers say pays, and measure every change. In 15+ years I have partnered with over 160 brands that generate £80m in sales across their stores. Cult Gaia, Victoria Beckham, Gymshark, Seafolly and Ireland's largest salon group among them. I'm a Shopify Plus Partner, and three in four brands come back. I take on a small number of brands at a time, offering audits, fix sprints and fractional store ownership.

Where an Attentive specialist spends the hours
SMS is the channel where a sloppy set-up costs the most. A wrong opt-in source or a missing quiet-hours rule turns into a compliance problem, not a design problem. The useful Attentive specialists start there and only then move on to creative.
Opt-in and list growth. Attentive's two-tap sign-up units turn visitors into subscribers with very little typing. An expert designs and targets them, checks the opt-in language against Attentive's TCPA templates, and switches on subscriber collection in Shopify checkout.
The data journeys run on. The Shopify public app sends product data, abandoned checkouts, past purchases and customer records to Attentive, and subscribers sync in both directions. Before building anything, a good specialist confirms each of those is arriving.
Journeys and campaigns. Welcome, abandoned checkout and post-purchase journeys, plus transactional texts for order and shipping updates triggered by Shopify. Campaign calendars and segments sit on top, built from Attentive's identity data.
The AI layer. Attentive's AI products are Attentive AI, AI Pro, AI Grow and AI Journeys. Each needs guard rails: which segments it may target, which offers it may use, which messages a human signs off. Ask candidates which of these they have configured on a live account.
Migration. Moving subscribers, consent records and flows from another SMS or email tool. The numbers are the easy part. Proof of how each person opted in is the part that matters.
Sorting strong Attentive candidates from weak ones
With six profiles to choose from, read every one closely instead of skimming for logos. You want someone who talks about consent and data before they talk about creative.
Ask about opt-in first. How would they collect SMS consent at checkout today? The right answer names Shopify's built-in checkbox. Ask how they handle quiet hours and what they do with an imported number that has no opt-in record.
Ask about money. Attentive has no public price list. It quotes on message volume, list size, channels and which AI products you add. An expert who has run accounts at your size can tell you which of those will move your bill, and which journeys justify the send volume.
Ask about reporting. Campaign revenue lives in Attentive's dashboards, not in Shopify's reports. Agree up front which number you'll judge the work by.
Red flags. A promised revenue figure. A plan to text the whole imported list on day one. Theme code for a checkout checkbox Shopify now provides.
Begin with something small and paid: an opt-in source audit plus one rebuilt journey. You learn how they operate before the whole programme is theirs. Attentive runs its own partner programme, with agency and technology tracks and a Signature Agency tier, and lists partners in a public directory. The shopexperts badge is separate, so if Attentive partner status matters, check that directory yourself.
Checkout opt-in, transactional texts and other Attentive Shopify details
The tag comes with the app. Attentive deploys its tag through the Shopify public app, with permissions preset. Nobody should be pasting a site-wide script into your theme to get tracking working.
Old checkbox code has to go first. Attentive's earlier checkout checkbox needed a code snippet. The current method switches on Shopify's built-in checkbox in settings, with no code at all. Attentive recommends removing its old code before setting up the new checkbox, so a store that has run Attentive for a few years needs that clean-up done in the right order.
Transactional texts need two settings. To send order and shipping messages from Shopify triggers, the phone field at checkout must be set to optional, and "Ingest transactional events" must be on in Attentive's Shopify integration settings. Then a transactional journey is built and activated.
Plus stores can double up. If Shopify's own SMS notifications stay switched on, customers on Shopify Plus stores can receive two or more texts for the same order. An expert turns Shopify's versions off once Attentive's journeys are live and tested.
One discount per account. Some brands that sell internationally run more than one Attentive account. Each one needs its own Shopify discount, because Attentive won't let the same discount be reused across accounts. Plan the codes before the offers are built, not after a campaign fails at checkout.

Before you hire for Attentive: agency, integrations, trial
Most of this badge group are freelancers: 5 of the 6, with 1 agency. A freelancer suits a defined job such as a checkout opt-in clean-up, a migration or a set of journeys. An Attentive agency makes more sense when you want weekly campaigns, creative and reporting handled together across SMS and email. Either way, ask who writes the messages and who owns compliance.
For most stores, one: the Shopify public app. It carries product data, abandoned checkouts, past purchases and customer records, and keeps subscribers in sync both ways. Add other Attentive integrations only when a journey needs data your store doesn't hold. Ask the expert to list each connection and what it sends before anything is switched on.
The Shopify App Store listing offers a 30-day free trial, and the app is free to install. There's no free plan after that. Attentive prices on usage and quotes each account on message volume, list size, channels and AI products, so ask for that quote early and scope the expert's work to the programme you can actually afford to send.
Moving lists and consent records across from another tool is standard Attentive specialist work. The rule that matters: a number travels with its opt-in record or it doesn't get texted. Ask the expert how they'll prove consent for every imported subscriber, and what happens to numbers they can't verify.
Not for a fresh install. The public app sets the tag and permissions, and checkout opt-in is a setting. A developer earns their fee on older stores carrying leftover Attentive checkout code, on multi-account international set-ups, and on any store where other apps send customer data that has to land on the right profile.
