Product Description

Speed Kit adds a Service Worker to your website. The Service Worker then reroutes all requests from your backend to a fast cache which is synchronized with your website. Speed Kit accelerates your website without any changes to the backend servers. Instead of re-engineering your server, network, and frontend performance, Speed Kit hooks into the traffic and accelerates it from the user side. Think of Speed Kit as the layer on top of your shop system, CDNs, and load balancers that guarantees the best possible performance. With its research-backed caching technology for dynamic data (e.g. for search and personalization), Speed Kit delivers your pages extremely fast. We take care of keeping content in-sync and distributing it to many edge locations. From low-level details such as network protocols to high-level concerns like tailored images, Speed Kit handles everything automatically. Since it is built on a novel browser technology called Service Workers, Speed Kit can be added by including 2 JavaScripts. This not only ensures a fast implementation, but also allows us to optimize the user experience in the frontend (e.g. through browser caching). As the only performance tool in the market, you can prove the speed uplift of Speed Kit through scientifically clean A/B-tests.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

The unique technology behind Speed Kit is based on a strong research lead in dynamic caching and real-time processing with ongoing research cooperations. Speed Kit works complementary to existing solutions:
- Content delivery networks also promise speed, but Speed Kit accelerates on top of them – proven through A/B tests.
- Cloud and hosting platforms cannot solve the latency problem of dynamic data. Speed Kit works with all of them.
- SaaS shop systems provide scalability but not speed. All SaaS shops get substantially faster with Speed Kit.

What do you like best about Speed Kit?

Speed kit is a form of caching technology that greatly speeds up the responsiveness of your website/webshop, by using a service worker. It caches all static parts of your site, and dynamically replaces dynamic content. This means that the time from clicking something, to something happening, is near-instant.

When shopping online, your tolerance for low speed is pretty low. Something should happen as soon as you click, and with Speed kit, it does!

We are using it for Shopify Plus, meaning it's a hosted platform with limited access to the server, and caching settings. Since it's a hosted platform, we greatly depend on third-party apps to get the functionality we need. This means a lot of scripts and assets needs to be loaded on all pages, and limiting the negative impact of all of these third parties, is very difficult.

Speed kit doesn't fix "everything speed" by just setting it up, but it can make even the most cluttered site feel a lot faster. The team sets everything up for you, and then gradually tests the impact with a limited set of users until the configuration is smooth. (unlike many Shopify apps that just activate themselves upon installation) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speed Kit?

We had some issues with caching in the beginning, most likely caused by the unusual link structure in Shopify before Online Store 2.0. After we switched to Dawn and set up Speed Kit again, none of these issues has been present, and the dynamic components get refreshed instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Speed Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed kit helps us retain great responsiveness for our webshop, regardless of third-party services negatively impacting our speed. This directly improves visitors session duration, number of items in the carts, and pages per session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Speed Kit?

One of the best feature is the purpose that it is made for. It increases the speed by 1.5 to 4 times without hampering the infrastructure of the site. It increases the session time for the users to stay longer on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speed Kit?

The most common issue is the issues with the cache. Another disadvantage is that it's a bit costly for small scale companies who cannot afford to pay so much. Technical knowledge is necessary to understand and use Speed kit fluently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Speed Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of the times we are unable to access any site because of the traffic. It is one of the most usual issue that anyone faces. Speed kit coming into the picture is solving the problem here. Because of this, one can get good revenues, lower bounce rates, more session time, etc. which is an added value to your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Speed Kit?

One of the most obvious best thing would be that it helped my website speed up quite a bit. Apart from that, one thing I liked was the dynamic pricing. A few leaders have at max. 3 different price points depending on the no. of monthly visitors but Speedkit offers like 6 different price points that allows you to choose wisely and select the option most suitable for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speed Kit?

More or less, I just had one issue while going through with Speedkit: pricing wasn't provided automatically. Instead, you were required to submit your website information, and someone from the team would get back to you with the pricing.

That ended up being a time consuming process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Speed Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speedkit essentially helps your website speed up by huge numbers by optimizing and fixing certain technical aspects of your website. Not just that, but they also help speedy delivery of website to the customers thanks to their caching technology which does its job without eliminating the important elements of the website such as images.

What do you like best about Speed Kit?

There has been a noticeable difference in our website's speed. Let's be honest, no one has a tolerance these days for a slow website that buffers and takes forever to load. Being able to provide a quick, user-friendly boost was helpful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Speed Kit?

It was sort of difficult to implement. I am not the most tech-savvy person, but do feel I have a decent understanding of technology. And I felt the implementation experience could have been smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Speed Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped us capture more business and ultimately raise our sales by boosting our website's speed. Time spent buffering for a website basically equates to lost customers, and we really couldn't afford that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
