Learn what to include, copy our starter template, and publish it on your storefront. How to Write an effective Accessibility Statement Accessibility statement on an ecommerce storefront What is an accessibility statement? An accessibility statement is a public page on your store that explains your commitment to digital accessibility, how customers can report barriers, and what you are doing to improve. It is not a legal contract, but it is a practical signal to customers, partners, and counsel that you take access seriously. For U.S. ecommerce brands, accessibility statements sit alongside WCAG 2.1 AA conformance work. Courts and the Department of Justice often reference WCAG when evaluating ADA Title III claims about websites and apps. A clear statement does not replace remediation, but it gives users a path to get help and documents your program for legal review. Our free accessibility scan flags whether your store already publishes a statement. If none is found, your report includes a suggested template pre-filled with your domain. Why your website needs one User trust: Customers who hit a barrier know how to reach you instead of abandoning the purchase. Legal readiness: Demand letters and counsel often ask for documentation of your accessibility program. A published statement is a baseline deliverable. Audit hygiene: Every remediation engagement we ship includes a statement draft. Merchants who publish early show ongoing maintenance, not a one-time fix. SEO and discoverability: A dedicated page at /pages/accessibility or /accessibility is easy to link from your footer and sitemap. Accessibility overlay apps do not replace a real statement tied to your storefront. We recommend removing overlays and fixing theme code instead. What to include in your accessibility statement Cover these sections so the page is useful to real users and defensible to reviewers: State your goal (for example, WCAG 2.1 Level AA) and that you work toward ADA Title III digital accessibility expectations. Name the website or storefront the statement covers (domain, languages, or regions if relevant). Provide email or phone for barrier reports, plus a realistic response-time commitment (for example, two business days). Note third-party content, embedded apps, or areas still under remediation so expectations are honest. Explain how customers can complete a purchase or get help if they cannot use the site (phone order, live chat, etc.). List browsers and assistive tech you test with (for example, Safari + VoiceOver, Chrome + NVDA). Publish when the statement was written or last reviewed so it stays current. Copy-paste accessibility statement template Replace bracketed placeholders, customize for your brand, and review with counsel before publishing. This is not legal advice. The block below uses Markdown headings so Shiki can highlight structure; flatten to plain labels if your Shopify page editor does not need # syntax. How to publish on Shopify Create the page in Shopify admin Go to Online Store > Pages and click Add page. Title it Accessibility (or Accessibility Statement). Paste your customized statement into the page body. Set the visibility to Visible. Link it in your footer In Online Store > Themes > Customize, open your footer section and add a menu link to your new page. Footer links help customers and scanners find the statement quickly. Re-scan after publishing Run another scan after the page is live. Your report's accessibility statement check should detect the new URL when discovery includes it or when our probe paths match. Shopify Checkout is platform-governed and is not the same as your theme templates. Your statement should still mention the storefront scope honestly. Full checkout testing belongs in a paid audit, not a URL crawl. Check your store before you publish Not sure if you already have a statement, or whether your theme passes a baseline WCAG read? Run our free scanner. It groups findings by template vs page-specific issues and flags a missing accessibility statement when none is discovered. Run a free accessibility scan on your Shopify store Under 60 seconds to a baseline read on your storefront templates. Your report includes prioritized violations, template grouping, and a suggested statement when none is found. Need a full audit with manual cart and Shopify Checkout testing? Start with the scan, then book a strategy call from the accessibility services page.

Learn expert Shopify speed optimization strategies. How to Optimize Your Shopify Store for Faster Load Times Website Speed Matters Why Speed Matters for Your Shopify Store Imagine you're shopping online and a site drags its feet loading – you'd probably leave, right? You're not alone. Nearly half of consumers expect a page to load in 2 seconds or less, and about 40% will abandon a website that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. In real terms, that means a slow Shopify store could be costing you almost half your potential customers before they even see your products. Speed isn't just a nice-to-have; it directly impacts your bottom line. Google found that as page load time goes from 1s to 3s, the probability of a visitor bouncing (leaving immediately) increases by 32%. A fast-loading store creates a better first impression and keeps people browsing. It also boosts your conversion rates and even your search engine ranking. In one study, just a 0.1-second improvement in site speed increased retail conversion rates by 8.4% SHOPIFY.COM – basically, a blink of an eye faster made nearly 1 in 10 more visitors buy something! Fast sites not only convert better, but they also tend to rank higher on Google (Google uses site speed as a ranking factor). On the flip side, slow load times lead to frustration and lost sales. A one-second delay can decrease customer satisfaction by 16%, meaning even if a visitor doesn't bounce outright, they're less happy and less likely to purchase or return. Bottom line: speed matters for user experience, SEO, and conversion. So let's roll up our sleeves and get your Shopify store running lightning-fast. ⚡ How to check your Shopify speed Before we start optimizing, we need a baseline. If you haven't checked your store's speed lately, now's the time. Shopify provides a built-in speed score in your admin, and there are other tools to get a full picture of your performance. Shopify Admin Speed Score In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes, and you'll see your store's speed score. This score (out of 100) is based on Google Lighthouse performance metrics for your home page, product page, and collection page. It gives you a quick snapshot of how your store compares to others. Shopify's speed score was historically based on Lighthouse; now Shopify also offers a Web Performance dashboard focusing on Core Web Vitals. Google PageSpeed Insights Use Google PageSpeed Insights by entering your URL. This free tool from Google will analyze your site's mobile and desktop performance and give specific suggestions. Pay attention to the Core Web Vitals results – these are key metrics Google cares about (more on those in a bit). GTmetrix (and others) For a deeper dive, check GTmetrix or Pingdom Tools. These will grade your site and highlight things like large images, unminified scripts, and other bottlenecks. GTmetrix is great for seeing your site's load timeline and waterfall (which files load, and when). Pro Tip Focus on Core Web Vitals. Don't get obsessed over a single “score.” Instead, pay attention to: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): How quickly your main content (like hero image or heading) loads. Aim for LCP under 2.5 seconds on mobile. First Input Delay (FID): How quickly your site responds to the first user interaction (like clicking a button). Aim for FID under 100 ms (Shopify's theme and infrastructure usually handle this well). Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): How stable your layout is (pages shouldn't jump around as elements load). Aim for CLS below 0.1 (ensure images have defined sizes, etc.). Core Web Vitals are crucial because they reflect real user experience. Shopify's own performance guide emphasizes these metrics​ HELP.SHOPIFY.COM. By measuring your starting point, you'll know which areas need the most love (e.g., if your images are the biggest issue, or if scripts are slowing things down). Now that you have some numbers, let's start improving them! Optimize Your Images Images are often the number one culprit behind slow load times. They look pretty, but if they're not optimized, they can weigh down your pages. In fact, images often make up 40–60% of a webpage's total weight on average​ SEARCHENGINELAND.COM. The good news? Image optimizations are usually quick wins for faster load times. Best practices for Shopify image optimization Use Modern Formats (WebP) Whenever possible, use modern image formats like WebP instead of older formats like PNG or JPEG. WebP can produce much smaller file sizes (on average ~30% smaller than an equivalent JPEG) without noticeable quality loss​ DEVELOPERS.GOOGLE.COM. Shopify's platform even has an image CDN that automatically serves next-gen formats when it can​HELP.SHOPIFY.COM, especially if you're using a newer theme. Take advantage of Shopify's CDN – upload high-quality images and let Shopify deliver them in WebP to supported browsers. Compress Images Before uploading images, compress them to reduce file size. You can use free tools like TinyPNG (which also supports JPEG/WebP) or an app from the Shopify App Store (there are apps specifically for image optimization). Compressed images can often be 50%+ smaller with no visible quality difference. Smaller file size = faster load. 🔽 Enable Lazy Loading Lazy loading means images (or other media) won't load until they're actually needed (i.e., when the user scrolls near them). This is huge for performance – why load an image at the bottom of the page if the user hasn't gotten there yet? Shopify's themes generally have lazy loading built-in for product images. If your theme doesn't, you can add the loading="lazy" attribute to your ` tags. For example: {/ prettier-ignore-start /} {/ prettier-ignore-end /} This way, your page can load much faster, because it's not dragging along tons of offscreen images at page load time. New Default lazy loading for Liquid image_tag Now, any image_tag past the first three sections of a template will automatically set loading=”lazy” if the loading attribute is not already set. To take advantage of this new feature, use the image_tag filter for your images and do not set the loading attribute {/ prettier-ignore-start /} {/ prettier-ignore-end /} Appropriate Image Dimensions Upload images at the maximum size they'll be displayed (or a bit larger for retina screens), but no bigger. If your homepage banner is 1600px wide, don't upload a 4000px wide image – that's just excess bytes. Shopify's responsive images will take care of serving smaller versions on mobile, but you should still avoid overly large uploads. For optimal display on Shopify, especially for square product images, a recommended size is 2048 x 2048 pixels. While you can upload images up to 4472 x 4472 pixels, this size allows for zoom functionality and maintains quality. ​SHOPIFY.COM By following these steps, you'll tackle one of the biggest sources of slowness. Many stores see noticeable speed improvements just by switching to compressed WebP images with lazy loading. And remember, Shopify's infrastructure helps here too: Shopify automatically optimizes images through its global content delivery network​ ​HELP.SHOPIFY.COM, which means images are served from servers closest to your visitor and in efficient formats. So optimize on your end, and let Shopify handle the rest for a double win. 🏆 Minimize Shopify Apps and Third-Party Scripts Every app you install on your Shopify store can add extra code (JavaScript, CSS, etc.) that needs to load. That nifty countdown timer or Instagram feed might look cool, but if it's not truly adding value, it could be slowing your site down. Shopify officially notes that your theme and apps are among the biggest factors in web performance​ HELP.SHOPIFY.COM. This doesn't mean you should have zero apps – just be strategic and ruthless about app bloat. How to reduce app bloat without losing functionality Audit Your Apps Go to Shopify Admin > Apps and review all installed apps. Are you actively using each one? If not, remove it (and be sure to follow any uninstall instructions to remove leftover code). Many store owners install an app, test it, then forget it's there. Cutting out unused apps is the easiest way to remove dozens of unnecessary requests. Use Fewer, Better Apps If you rely on apps, see if any overlap in functionality. Sometimes one well-built app can do the job of three single-purpose apps. For example, some page builder apps or marketing apps provide multiple features (SEO, image optimization, etc.) in one. Fewer apps = fewer scripts to load. Just make sure the combined app isn't a heavy weight itself. Load Apps Only When Needed Some apps inject their code on every page, even when they're only used on one page (like a product review widget loading on the checkout, where it's not needed). This is inefficient. If possible, disable or limit apps to only the pages they're necessary on. This might require a developer's help, but it can significantly lighten the load on most pages. Remove Old Snippets When you uninstall an app, it might leave behind code in your theme.liquid or other theme files (like script includes or divs). Check your theme code for remnants of apps you no longer use. Clean out those snippets to prevent ghost code from running. Shopify's Theme Inspector or other auditing tools can help find unused code. Reducing app bloat can have a huge impact. Think of it like decluttering a room – everything loads faster when there's less junk. Many stores see their load times drop after a good app purge. Plus, it makes maintenance easier (fewer things to update or conflict). Remember, each app or script is another potential point of failure or slowdown. Keep the ones that truly drive value for your business, and toss the rest. Your customers will thank you with faster page loads and more purchases! Enable Browser Caching and Minify Your Code When a visitor comes to your site, their browser will cache (store) some files so that on subsequent pageviews (or return visits), it doesn't have to load everything from scratch again. Shopify, by virtue of being a modern platform, already leverages caching and minification heavily, but there are still a few things to keep in mind: Tips for caching and code optimization Leverage Shopify's Built-In Caching Shopify stores are hosted on fast servers worldwide and use Cloudflare for its CDN​ HELP.SHOPIFY.COM, which means a lot of caching is done for you. Assets like images, stylesheets, and scripts are served via the CDN and cached in the visitor's browser automatically with appropriate headers. What you can do is ensure you're not defeating that caching – for instance, avoid constantly changing file names or disabling caching in any custom code. Rely on Shopify's infrastructure; it's optimized for speed out of the box (Shopify even guarantees no bandwidth limits and 99.99% uptime on Shopify Plus). Minify and Combine Files Shopify automatically minifies your theme's CSS and JavaScript when serving your store (so your theme.css and theme.js are likely already compressed). However, if you have added custom CSS/JS or included libraries manually, make sure they're minified (spaces and comments removed, etc.). Whenever possible, combine files to reduce the number of requests – e.g. one single theme.js file is better than 10 separate plugin files. Fewer requests = faster page. Remove Unused Code If you're using a theme that came with features you're not using (sliders, tabs, etc.), see if you can disable or remove those sections' code. Unused JavaScript libraries (for example, a carousel script that isn't actually in use) just add weight. Do a quick sweep of your theme files for any large scripts or styles not relevant to your current design. Removing them will lighten the load. Use Liquid wisely This is more for developers, but if you're comfortable with Shopify Liquid code – use it to your advantage for performance. Liquid can conditionally load scripts/styles only on certain pages. For example, load the review app script only on product pages, not site-wide (wrap the script include in an {% if template == 'product' %}` block). Liquid can also help inline critical CSS for faster first paint, but that's a more advanced technique. Third-Party Scripts Aside from apps, consider other third-party code you might have added, like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or chat widgets. These are often necessary for marketing, but each one adds a bit of load time. Ensure you've got the latest code (older versions might be slower) and only install what's truly needed. For example, if you no longer use a certain analytics service, remove its script. Some services offer “async” or “defer” options for their scripts – use those so they don't block page rendering. The goal here is to make the bytes that do get loaded count, and to avoid loading the ones that aren't needed. A leaner code base means the browser spends less time crunching through files and more time showing your beautiful store to the user. And since Shopify already does a lot behind the scenes (CDN, caching, minification)​, your job is mainly not to clutter things on top of that. Keep it simple, keep it fast. Choose (or Optimize) a Fast Theme Your Shopify theme lays the foundation for your store's performance. Some themes are inherently faster and more lightweight than others. If you're using an older theme with lots of visual effects, it might be slowing you down. On the other hand, Shopify's newer Online Store 2.0 themes (like Dawn) are built with speed in mind​ HELP.SHOPIFY.COM. What you can do Use an Optimized Theme Consider switching to a fast, modern theme if your current theme is sluggish. Shopify's default free theme Dawn is a great choice – it's clean, minimal, and about 35% faster than the old Debut theme it replaced​ {/ prettier-ignore-start /} GEMPAGES.NET .{/ prettier-ignore-end /} Many Shopify merchants stick with Dawn (or themes built off Dawn) precisely because of its performance. Other well-regarded fast themes include Turbo (a premium theme optimized for speed) and Impulse (another performance-focused theme for visual stores). If you choose a third-party theme, look for mentions of “performance” or “speed” in their description, or tests by other users. Also, ensure it's an Online Store 2.0 theme, as these are generally better optimized. Keep Your Theme Updated Theme developers (including Shopify) release updates that often include speed improvements or bug fixes. Using the latest version of your theme can give you performance gains. For example, a theme update might replace an old library with a newer, faster one. Check if your theme has an update available and read the changelog for any performance notes. Optimize Your Existing Theme Maybe you don't want to switch themes – that's okay! You can still optimize what you have. Here are a few things to try: Remove Unnecessary Features If your homepage has 3 slideshows, 5 Instagram feeds, and a video background, consider dialing it back. Each fancy feature adds load time. Focus on what actually engages your customers. Often a simpler design not only loads faster but converts better (less distraction). Limit Fonts and Icons Custom fonts and icon libraries (like Font Awesome) can add extra load. Use only the fonts you need (e.g., maybe you don't need 5 different font families; 1 or 2 is enough) and consider using modern icon solutions (like SVG icons or font subsets) to reduce weight. Defer Non-Essential Scripts If there are scripts in your theme that aren't needed immediately, load them later. For instance, if you have a script for a pop-up that appears after 30 seconds, that script doesn't need to load in the first paint. Use the defer or async attribute for such scripts, or load them dynamically after the main content is ready. Test Theme Speed Before Committing If you're considering a new theme, you can test its speed before fully switching. Many theme developers have demo stores – run a PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix on the demo URL to see how it performs. It won't be exact (the content is different from your store), but it gives a ballpark. Also, Shopify allows you to upload and preview themes in your store without publishing them. Use preview mode to run speed tests on a theme with your content, before your customers ever see it. Shopify's platform gives you a good head start: their own themes are free and optimized​, and the framework is solid. So, leveraging that by using a well-built theme can save you a ton of headache. If you already have a custom theme you love, just trim the fat. Think of your theme like a race car – remove any unnecessary weight, tune it up, and it'll fly. Reduce Redirects and Fix Broken Links Every time a page on your store redirects to another page, your visitor's browser is taking a detour. A redirect might only add a fraction of a second, but those fractions add up – and unnecessary redirects can really slow down navigation (not to mention they can confuse search engines if overused). Similarly, broken links (which result in 404 errors) are dead-ends that waste time and frustrate users. How to streamline links: Avoid Unneeded Redirects: Sometimes we set up URL redirects when restructuring a site (like redirecting an old product URL to a new one). That's fine if it's needed for users/bookmarks. But if you have chains of redirects (Page A -> Page B -> Page C), that's multiple hops. Wherever possible, eliminate intermediate steps so that A goes straight to C. In Shopify, check Online Store > Navigation > URL Redirects. Keep the list lean – only necessary redirects (like discontinued products to a category page, etc.). If you find old redirects that aren't needed anymore, remove them. Use Shopify's Redirect Tool: Shopify makes it easy to manage 301 redirects in that Navigation section. Use it rather than leaving broken links. For example, if you changed a product handle, set up a redirect from the old handle to the new. That way users and search engines seamlessly go to the correct page without extra load time or a 404. One direct 301 is fine; try to avoid multiple 301s in a row. Fix Broken Links (404s): A broken link means the server has to serve a 404 page, which still takes time (and then users often go elsewhere). Use a tool like Screaming Frog SEO Spider or an online checker to crawl your site for broken links. Shopify's Search Console (Google Search Console if you have that set up for your store) will also report 404 errors that Google encountered. Once you identify broken URLs, either redirect them to the correct page or update the links to point to something valid. This ensures users and bots aren't wasting time on dead ends. Be Careful with App Uninstalls: Sometimes removing an app can break links if that app created pages (like a blog, or a gallery). Make sure to remove or redirect any pages that were provided by apps you've deleted. For example, if you had an app that made a gallery at /pages/gallery and you remove it, that URL might now 404 – so set up a redirect or remove the menu link. Think of redirects like stop lights on a road – one or two are fine, but you don't want to hit a bunch in a row. By cleaning up your links, you ensure a smoother, faster path for both your customers and search engine crawlers. It's a simple step that can shave off extra loading time and also improve your SEO (Google prefers sites without too many redirects or errors). Track Performance Over Time (and Stay Ahead) Website optimization isn't a one-and-done deal. Your Shopify store's speed can fluctuate as you add products, install new apps, and make theme updates. That's why it's crucial to monitor performance over time and make adjustments when needed. Instead of just relying on third-party tools, you can integrate Shopify-native solutions and Liquid-based optimizations to keep things running smoothly. How to Monitor and Maintain Shopify Performance Shopify's Web Performance Dashboard: Shopify provides insights into your store's speed under Online Store > Themes. Use this to track your store's historical performance. Google PageSpeed Insights & Core Web Vitals: Run tests regularly to monitor your Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) scores. Google prioritizes stores with good Core Web Vitals. GTmetrix & Lighthouse Audits: These tools provide detailed breakdowns of your store's bottlenecks, including JavaScript execution time and render-blocking resources. Shopify Developer Tips for Ongoing Speed Optimization Reduce Liquid Loops Liquid is Shopify's templating language, and inefficient use of loops can slow down page rendering. If your store loads product recommendations, collections, or filters dynamically, reducing unnecessary loops can speed things up. Avoid: Better Approach: Only loop through the products you need: Leverage Shopify's Global Content Delivery Network (CDN) Shopify automatically serves images, JavaScript, and CSS through its CDN, but you can optimize usage: Use Shopify's built-in image resizing and compression: This ensures images are served at the right size instead of a full-resolution image being scaled down in the browser. Minimize Render-Blocking Code Heavy JavaScript and CSS can slow down your Shopify store's first paint. To defer scripts, use: For stylesheets that aren't critical for above-the-fold content, consider loading them asynchronously: Avoid Excessive API Calls and Dynamic Requests Some themes rely on Shopify's AJAX API to dynamically load products, prices, and stock levels. While useful, excessive API calls slow down performance. Instead of making live API calls for every customer visit, cache common queries using Shopify metafields or Liquid objects. Example: Store commonly fetched product details in a metafield and retrieve it with Liquid instead of making a live API request: This reduces calls to Shopify's servers and speeds up page rendering. Enable Lazy Loading for Faster Image Rendering Lazy loading ensures that images load only when a visitor scrolls to them, reducing the initial page load time. Default image loading (bad): Optimized with lazy loading (better): Utilizing shopify image_tag (best): Keeping Your Shopify Store Fast in the Long Run Regularly audit installed apps: Remove apps that inject unnecessary scripts into your store. Monitor speed after theme updates: Test page speed using Google Lighthouse every time you update your theme. Use Shopify's Theme Inspector: This tool helps developers identify performance issues inside Shopify themes. By implementing these Liquid optimizations and Shopify-native speed enhancements, you can significantly improve your store's performance without needing external scripts or complex integrations. Keeping things lean and optimized ensures your Shopify store remains fast, efficient, and conversion-friendly over time. 🚀 Need help fine-tuning your Shopify theme for speed?
