The Top Shop review for Booster: Page Speed Optimizer
July 29, 2022
Ultimately this app slowed down my store front. I'm pretty sure this is a redundancy with Google search, or most marketing measures but let's leave that up for speculation. Update: The app description does not match the apps intended functionality. To future users please consider this - this app allows your page to start loading when your links are hovered over. This would be most beneficial for websites with high resolution photo videos etc that require a longer load time. If most of your product photos consist of JPEGs this will do nothing for you. If the conversion goal is to be clicked and directed right to a product to be purchased this is not for you. If you're selling photography this is for you.
Hi there, James here from Booster Apps, I'm sorry for your experience so far using the app. As mentioned in our app screenshots and description, our app preloads links – so when a customer moves their mouse cursor over a link, we tell the browser to pre-load that page. When someone clicks that link, the page has already loaded. This results in a faster browsing experience for your customers. Some merchants have seen up to 3x real world performance boost. Since most of the speed score apps test on first page load, the machines wont pick up the speed change. Image heavy stores do benefit from this app, you're correct, but since the app preloads html as well, it will work on stores that don't have many images too. I'd love for you to give it another shot - or if you'd like to chat about the technical details of our app happy to chat at [email protected]. I read through your conversation with Pat from our team, and in rare cases there's a hiccup on install – this is an easy fix on our end and something we're happy to take a closer look into. We've reached out over email to help make things right! Cheers, James
