Performance Check for Shopware 6

Why your shop is slow – measured, not assumed

The Performance Check for Shopware 6 examines which factors determine your shop's load time: server response, database, caching, code quality, PHP settings, media and the extensions in use.

Load time rarely comes from a single place. We measure the whole chain from the server to the browser, rank the findings by impact and deliver a report with recommended actions. You can then implement them yourself or hand them to us. The check takes about two to three working days.

Your benefits with the Performance Check

• Causes instead of symptoms: We measure the entire chain from the server to the browser rather than adjusting individual values.
• Ranked by impact: The report orders the findings by what makes the biggest difference, so you do not start everywhere at once.
• Extensions included: We check which installed plugins cost runtime – a point that general speed tools do not cover.
• A clear time frame: The check takes about two to three working days.
• Implementation optional: You decide whether to carry out the measures yourself or commission us.
• Solid figures: Server response time and First Contentful Paint are measured, not estimated.

What we examine

Server performance and load speed

We measure the server's response time (Time to First Byte) and the moment the first content becomes visible (First Contentful Paint).

Database

We look at queries and indexes and identify where the database becomes the bottleneck.

Caching and resources

Whether the cache is configured appropriately and whether a content delivery network would make sense for your shop.

Code quality and PHP settings

Redundant scripts and unfavourable PHP settings cost runtime. We check both.

Images and media

Large or unsuitable formats slow the page down. We check formats, sizes and delivery.

Extensions in use

Not every plugin is equally economical. We check which extensions cost runtime and name the candidates.

Security and scalability

We review the configuration for whether the shop stays stable at high traffic.

Usability and SEO relevance

Load time works in both directions. We identify the points where it affects usability and the technical SEO assessment.

Who is the Performance Check suitable for?

• Shops where the home page, category pages or checkout feel noticeably sluggish
• Merchants with load peaks, for example in the Christmas season or during promotions
• Shops that have accumulated many extensions over the years
• Operators who want to know where the problem actually lies before switching servers
• Teams who need findings in order to justify an investment internally

Frequently asked questions

How long does the check take?
About two to three working days once access and the date have been agreed.

What do you need from us?
Access to the shop and to the environment it runs in. We agree scope and timing beforehand.

What do I receive at the end?
A report with the measured values, the findings and a recommendation on the order in which the measures pay off.

Do you also implement the measures?
On request. Implementation is a separate assignment and not part of the check.

Will my shop be guaranteed faster afterwards?
The check measures and names causes. How much the load time changes depends on which measures are implemented and on the specific case. We do not promise particular figures in advance.

Does the check cover hosting as well?
Yes. Server response time and the environment are part of the measurement. If a change would make sense, we say so openly.

What does the check cost?
Billing is based on effort. We agree the scope before the appointment.
