PB Sunglasses — Shopify Redesign
95 PageSpeed Score with Traffic Roughly Doubled
PB Sunglasses needed a Shopify store that could actually keep up with paid traffic — the existing theme was slow and provided no way for browsing customers to get quick answers before buying. We rebuilt the storefront around a performance budget and added live chat support, taking PageSpeed from 52 to 95.

The Challenge
PB Sunglasses needed a Shopify storefront built for both speed and product discovery — an eyewear catalog with smart product recommendations, plus live chat support to handle pre-purchase questions that were previously going unanswered.
Our Solution
We rebuilt the store on Shopify with a performance-first template, added a smart product-recommendation engine to surface relevant frames based on browsing behavior, and integrated live chatbot support to capture and answer buyer questions in real time.
Our Process
How we achieved these results step by step
Shopify Storefront Build
Custom Shopify theme built around a performance budget from day one, rather than optimizing a bloated template after the fact.
Smart Product Recommendations
Implemented a recommendation engine surfacing relevant frames based on browsing and purchase behavior to increase product discovery.
Live Chatbot Integration
Added live chat support to answer pre-purchase questions in real time, reducing drop-off during consideration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did PageSpeed matter so much for this Shopify store specifically?
The store was running paid traffic campaigns, and a slow storefront directly wastes ad spend — visitors bouncing before the page even loads never get a chance to convert regardless of how good the product or offer is.
What caused the original PageSpeed score of 52?
A heavily app-stacked Shopify theme — a common pattern where each individual app seems harmless but the cumulative JavaScript and render-blocking resources add up to a genuinely slow storefront.
How does live chat support affect eyewear e-commerce conversion?
Sunglasses purchases often involve pre-purchase questions (fit, UV protection, materials) that a static product page can't fully answer — live chat captures those moments instead of losing the visitor to hesitation.
