ShopWave: From 4-Second Loads to 27% More Sales
ShopWave was losing 60% of mobile visitors to slow page loads. We rebuilt their online store, cutting load times to under 1 second and increasing sales by 27%.
The Challenge
ShopWave was a mid-sized online retailer doing $1.2M/month in revenue, but their website took 4+ seconds to load on phones. Analytics showed 60% of mobile visitors left before the first product image even appeared. They had tried three different themes and multiple optimization apps, but none could get below 3 seconds. They needed a fundamentally different approach.
The Solution
We rebuilt the online store as a modern, fast-loading website while keeping their existing shop backend. We implemented smart caching for product pages, optimized all images for fast loading, and added lightning-fast search. We rebuilt the checkout flow to be smoother and simpler. The entire migration was done with zero downtime — the old and new stores ran side by side during the transition.
The Results
We spent two years trying to speed up our online store and never got below 3 seconds. OrbisStack rebuilt it in 10 weeks and we are at under 1 second. Our sales conversion jumped 27% in the first quarter. The return on investment was immediate and undeniable.
