Here's a breakdown of when it might be most beneficial to run the Speedboostr optimizer on your Shopify store:

 

Recommended Scenarios:

  • After Theme Changes: Whenever you make modifications to your store's theme, running the optimizer is a good practice. This ensures that any new elements or code introduced with the changes are optimized for performance.

  • Periodic Optimization: Even without theme changes, consider running the optimizer periodically to maintain optimal website speed. This can help address any caching issues or gradual performance degradation over time.

  • Low Traffic Periods: If your store experiences fluctuations in traffic, aim to schedule optimization (manual or auto-run) during periods with lower visitor numbers. This minimizes potential disruptions to user experience while the optimization process occurs.

 

Additional Considerations:

 

Speedboostr Auto-Run: Paid plans offer auto-run scheduling, allowing you to automate theme optimization at your chosen interval (daily, weekly, or monthly).
