Building the #1 Shopify site speed agency @ The Nice Agency - Exposing site speed scams is my hobby - prev. Co-Founder of eevee’s

🚨 EXPOSING NOSTRA. AI 🚨. We have exposed some pretty nasty grifts in this space, but Nostra reigns supreme above all others (by a fair margin). Since we have >30 min video and an intensive Notion document (linked at the very bottom of this post) I am going to just highlight

Have you watched the @SteveBartlettSC interview of @garyvee yet? . I have been watching Gary for what feels like 10 years, since the WLTV days…. Never have I seen such depth and emotion from him… and he’s a deep, emotional dude! . Enjoy.

Working with a new Shopify client who has a VERY successful apparel brand. They came to me because their site was loading very slowly and their highly paid marketing team was passing the buck onto site speed as the core issue as to why their numbers weren’t where they should.

SHOPIFY APP BLOAT 🫃. When we onboard a new client for a site speed optimization, the very first thing we do is an intensive app audit. The form is simple. I populate all of their apps into a spreadsheet with a "keep" and "remove" option. I then ask the client to add their

@awilkinson Oh Andrew, I got you here. I have about 100 hours of research into this and I’ve sussed out the best protocol. TLDR; topical finasteride <.5% sol. topical minoxidil 5% sol. a few other interventions. Shall I expand in the comments or send you a DM with links to buy in CAD?.

@AnthonyVicino At least 2 trusted dog-watchers for the pup-parents here. Knowing that I can go somewhere on relatively short notice and my children are well taken care of is worth WHATEVER they want to charge me. Also, therapist. Also, business/performance coach.

@FitFounder @FitFounder I’m really surprised singing isn’t on this list. One of the most healing methods for me. Perhaps it’s because it is a more skill-centric task to even do somewhat ok? Maybe they just missed it? Either way, I’d love to see it added to future studies in this area!.

@awilkinson Alright! . in Canada, $230 every 3/mo. Minoxidil 5% + Finasteride 0.1% + Tretinoin 0.025% topical solution, applied nightly. Combine w/ dermaroller, 2-3x a week, before applying. 2x daily massage.

Funny story. I was in the running to be an enterprise account executive for @ShopifyPlus like 6 or 7 years ago. I made it all the way to the final hiring stage, which was quite the accomplishment in itself. No less than 20 separate calls with the recruited and different team.
@igobylukas @Shopify Performance needs to hire you at this point, called out more scams in the past month and optimized more they do a year 👀.

Basically, what the man is saying, is to just ACT. You’ll learn more than any book by just flailing. Be brutally honest with yourself and ask if you’re hiding behind the inevitable work… the endless work… by reading another book or taking another course. Do.
The harsh truth is that there's someone 3x dumber than you but with 2x your results. Because they put the lessons of 1 book into action instead of reading 27 more. And I get it, it feels good to say you read a book a week and show off the bookshelf of trendy books you've read.

My weekly reminder 🙂. IF SOMEONE PROMISED TO GET YOUR MOBILE PERFORMANCE SCORE ON YOUR SHOPIFY STORE INTO THE 90'S, THERE IS A 99.999% CHANCE YOU'VE BEEN SCAMMED. THEY JUST TOOK YOUR MONEY, INJECTED A CLOCKING SCRIPT INTO YOUR CODE AND COLLECTED THEIR 5 STAR REVIEW.

The Nice Agency has become probably the biggest #shopify site speed optimization agency out there within 1 year - we have a shitty site with no case studies or reviews. 100% referral business from happy clients or people who viewed my content. Lesson to any agency or service.

Have you ever run a site speed test on a Shopify store and been confused why the results say the site is taking 5, 10, 15+ seconds to load. but when you load your site on your phone/desktop, it takes only a fraction of that time?. Well, then you should watch this video. or at

Just shot my shot with @SeanEcom to do site speed optimizations for Ridge. I know we can make a pretty big positive impact to their performance. Would be HUGE to lock down such an epic client at this stage. Never be scared of shooting your shot. You just better be damn sure.

Can confirm. Rebuy is among the worst offenders when it comes to site speed impact.
Rebuy for Shopify is a page speed disaster. A client gained 14 points on their Google PageSpeed Insights mobile score by simply removing the Rebuy script from their homepage. Rebuy accounted for 20+ requests and 540K+. That's insane. You're only as fast as your slowest app.

I’ll say it again (and again, and again). If any person or ‘revolutionary AI SaaS’ anyone else says they can get the mobile performance score on your Shopify store to 85+ . You are being scammed. Don’t let these cretins anywhere near your .liquid.
when client says, pagespeed 80% is not really good, you can do better.

I genuinely feel bad for the people who have somehow been convinced that what we caught Nostra doing is anything other than pure grift. Every single developer you ask to take a look at this (who’s not on the Nostra payroll) will immediately tell you what we caught Nostra doing.
You know a founder is full of shit when they spend over half their “defense” touting their team/investors/advisors. If you talk to any experienced @Shopify developer who's not on the Nostra payroll, they'll tell you the truth about what's happening here.
