Findings with evidence

ImproveTitle, 66 characters

<title>Shopify: The All-in-One Commerce Platform for Businesses - Shopify</title>

Fix: Shorten to about 50 to 60 characters so tools do not cut it off.

ImproveServer responded in 1169 ms

Time to response headers from our checker, after 1 redirect. Final URL: https://www.shopify.com/

Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.

ImproveHTML size 976 KB, 7 script tags

0 render-blocking scripts in <head>

Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
