Problem

While optimizing House of Leon’s Shopify store, we faced several challenges. We needed to improve website speed by fixing issues that delayed content loading and by optimizing key performance metrics like the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). Ensuring that different Shopify apps worked well together, especially Okendo Reviews and Swatch King, also required careful troubleshooting.

Building custom features, such as a product tagging system and dynamic FAQ sections, meant planning carefully to ensure they worked smoothly on all devices. We also had to find creative ways to work around Shopify’s checkout limits to display dynamic product details. Throughout the process, keeping the website stable was a top priority, so we performed thorough testing and quality checks to prevent any disruptions.

01.
