Good foundational overview of web performance — Core Web Vitals and LCP in particular are huge for both SEO and conversion rates.

For anyone running a Shopify store, a couple of apps that directly improve these metrics:

Prefetch (apps.shopify.com/prefetch) — preloads the next page when a shopper hovers a navigation link. Dramatically improves perceived navigation speed and reduces bounce from slow transitions.

Eye Catching (apps.shopify.com/beautiful-brands) — standardizes product images (backgrounds, overlays, badges) automatically. Helps keep catalog pages visually polished and fast without manual image editing overhead.

Great series — looking forward to the follow-up parts!
