BigCommerce Store Problems

When BigCommerce Becomes Heavy

Keep what works—ditch what slows you down. We migrate or optimize for speed, SEO, and conversions.

  • Rising App Costs & Complexity

    BigCommerce apps quickly add up in cost and complexity. Essential features like SEO, analytics, and customization require expensive monthly subscriptions that eat into your profits.

    Talk Store Migration
  • Template Limits for Performance

    Perfect for: stores that want faster LCP/INP and higher CR. BigCommerce templates are bloated with unnecessary code, resulting in slow loading times and poor Core Web Vitals scores.

    Get Faster Performance
  • Core Web Vitals Warnings

BigCommerce Speed Issues vs Our 95+ Guarantee

Performance That BigCommerce Can't Match

BigCommerce sites struggle with speed due to app dependencies, hosting limitations, and server constraints. Our custom-built ecommerce sites are optimized from the ground up.
  • 95+ PageSpeed Guarantee

    We guarantee 95+ page speed scores on Google PageSpeed Insights. BigCommerce stores typically score 30-60% due to app bloat.

  • 🔧

    No App Dependencies

    BigCommerce apps conflict with each other and slow down your store. Our built-in features work perfectly together without conflicts.

  • 📱

    Mobile-First Design

    Our stores are built mobile-first, ensuring fast loading on all devices. BigCommerce themes often prioritize desktop over mobile.

  • 🚀

    Instant Loading

    Pages typically render in under a second on 4G—no heavy app stacks.

BigCommerce Vulnerabilities vs Our Secure Platform

Security That BigCommerce Can't Provide

BigCommerce sites are constant targets for hackers due to app vulnerabilities, hosting limitations, and security issues.
  • 🔒

    No App Vulnerabilities

    BigCommerce apps are security risks. Our built-in features eliminate the need for vulnerable third-party apps.

  • 🛡️

    Automatic Security Updates

    We handle all security updates automatically. No more worrying about outdated BigCommerce apps or themes.

  • 🇨🇦

    Canadian Hosting Security

    Your data stays in Canada with enterprise-grade security. BigCommerce hosting often uses offshore servers with different security standards.

  • 📊

    24/7 Security Monitoring

    We monitor your store 24/7 for security threats. BigCommerce stores require expensive security apps and constant vigilance.
