Speed Check

Speed check lets you test how fast the Shopvid widget loads on your actual storefront, measured from a real browser session — not a simulation. Use it to spot performance issues before your customers do.

Prerequisites

  • The Shopvid widget is installed on at least one page in your theme
  • App embed is enabled in your Shopify theme settings

Steps

Step 1: Open the Dashboard

In the Shopvid sidebar, click Dashboard. Scroll to find the Speed check card.

Step 2: Select a page to test

In the Page to test dropdown, choose which page type to run the test on: Homepage or Product page. Pick the page where your widget is installed.

Step 3: Run the test

Click Start widget performance test. Shopvid opens your live store in a new tab, measures how the widget loads, then returns the results to the Dashboard. Keep the tab open until the test finishes.

Step 4: Read the results

Three metrics appear, each with a status badge:

Widget sizeTotal size of scripts and assetsUnder 512 KB512 KB–2 MBOver 2 MB

Step 5: View test details (optional)

Click View details to see the browser environment captured during the test — connection type, browser, viewport, and exact timestamp. Useful if you need to report a performance issue to support.

Step 6: Run the test again

Click Run again to retest at any time — for example after making theme changes or optimizing your setup.

Tips

  • Run the test on the page where most of your traffic lands for the most relevant result
  • If the test times out, make sure the diagnostic tab finished loading and try again
  • If you see Widget not detected, confirm the Shopvid widget block is added to the page you selected
  • For a Heavy widget size result, click Contact us with the message "I want to optimize page loading" to get help from support
