About Us

Comprehensive Shopify store audits and web performance scans to help your business thrive.

Stonethro was founded by a group of technology, design and ecommerce fanatics committed to sharing expertise with fellow entrepreneurs and The Shopify community through Shopify analysis, audits, consultancy and performance scans.

Over the years we have helped produce more than 100+ Shopify stores and what we have learnt is that similar challenges are common and can be tackled with a tried and tested approach. But our approach goes further than us just saying ‘do this’. We use our proprietary Stonethro scanner to give you advice informed by benchmarking your levels of optimisation. This allows you to learn about making improvements through comparing your business with those in the same industry category.

 

A report that adds energy to the internal team.

We found that, despite the excellent work being done by the brands’ in-house teams, due to their day-to-day tasks, they occasionally struggled with generating fresh ideas and maintaining momentum. After all, the constant need to improve performance for the ecom team can make it a lonely job and the wider business doesn’t always know the challenges and barriers to better performance.

Stonethro offers a comprehensive audit service with practical solutions to ignite new ideas, new thinking and new approaches for teams. Our all-in-one reports are fast and cost effective, providing actionable insights into your store’s customer profiles, functionality, design, user experience, and technical aspects, saving you time and money on traditional consultancies.

 

Stonethro’s special sauce. No more arbitrary audit results.

Don’t take Google’s word for the performance of your site speed – that number doesn’t appreciate that you need images, javascript and video to promote your brand! And can you really believe that consultant telling you what’s best practice for your site? If it’s wrong it could cost you thousands.

Questions like these can keep you up at night. We hope with Stonethro your mind will be put at ease. With our data set on 5000 Shopify stores we can offer evidence led knowledge and performance opportunities, all through transparency. That’s what makes our audits a little different to other audits. We have built a unique system that scans data and insight from the world’s most successful Shopify stores. This means that when we audit your store, we will not only benchmark you with best practice within your category but also against direct competitors so you get a stronger validation for your own site improvements.
