Solid guide for 2025 — prefetching, image optimization, and reducing render-blocking resources are definitely where the biggest gains are.
For Shopify stores specifically, a couple of tools that apply these principles without custom dev work:
Prefetch (apps.shopify.com/prefetch) — automatically preloads the next page when a shopper hovers a link, turning page transitions into near-instant navigations. Exactly the kind of prefetching strategy you described, zero config needed.
Eye Catching (apps.shopify.com/beautiful-brands) — standardizes product image backgrounds and adds overlays/badges consistently, so image-heavy collections stay optimized without manual editing or slowing page loads.
Both are solid practical applications of web performance principles in the ecommerce space. Great write-up!
