Shopify shop speed is a common problem, that almost all Shopify stores are experiencing, but almost nobody knows, that they do. The easiest way to measure your Shopify shop page speed is through third-party tools like GTmetrix or Google Page insights. These tools give you an objective and very detailed analysis of your store's performance and you will not like, what you see when you have never optimized your store before. Here are the links to these two tools, just type in your store's address and they will analyse your shop speed within minutes:

You will see your current Shopify page speed score on both sites and it's important to understand, that you have two scores: one is for your mobile site and another one is for your desktop version. It's wise to focus on your mobile version's performance, but your desktop versions should also be in the 80s of 100. When you never took care of your Shopify speed score, you will probably be ranking between 20-50 of 100 possible points. This is a normal starting ground for a thorough further and deeper analysis of your store and this is definitely the moment where you should add some experience to the table.
Generally, it is possible to bring a Shopify speed score from 5 to 95, if you know, what to do. We will talk about the reasons for a slow Shopify shop page speed in another blog post soon because there are several and severe reasons, why your store might be lacking shop speed.
