Shopware 6 performance audit
Deep audit of Core Web Vitals, the database, HTTP cache strategy and frontend tuning — with concrete Lighthouse score targets and measurable outcomes.
Store speed directly drives conversion and Google rankings. A drop in LCP from 4s to 2.5s can lift orders 5–15%, and Google has been actively penalizing slower sites since the Core Web Vitals update. Our audit goes through every layer — from database and HTTP cache, through the PHP runtime, to front-end render strategy and images — and delivers concrete, prioritized recommendations with estimated impact.
What we deliver
- Audit report with Core Web Vitals metrics per template
- Slow-query analysis, indexes, large-table partitioning estimates
- HTTP cache plan — Varnish configuration, ESI fragments for cart/login
- Redis setup for session and object cache
- Image pipeline (AVIF/WebP, srcset, lazy loading with LCP exception)
- CDN setup (Cloudflare, Fastly) with the right cache headers
- Implementation of the top 10 recommendations with before/after metrics
When to call us
- Lighthouse score is under 70 and Core Web Vitals are red
- Conversion drops on weaker networks / mobile devices
- Cron jobs and admin operations bring the store down at peak
- Before a major campaign or Black Friday — without the last-minute panic
How we work
Audit (1 week) → prioritized report → implementation in 2–4 sprints with before/after measurements → final report with the Core Web Vitals trend and recommendations for continuous work.
