Redesign revenue loss

Sales dropped after
a Shopify redesign?
Check SEO first

In short

New themes look better but often ship slower, strip schema, break internal links, and hide trust signals.

We separate SEO damage from CRO issues and fix both on the templates that sell.

What we see

Signs this is your store

Common problems on UK Shopify stores targeting “shopify sales dropped after redesign”.

  • Conversion rate and traffic both down

    Double hit: fewer visitors and fewer buying when they arrive.

  • Bounce rate up on product pages

    Layout changes hid reviews, delivery info, or size guides above the fold.

  • Mobile orders disproportionately affected

    INP and LCP regressions hurt mobile shoppers first.

Root causes

What is actually going wrong

  • Design without SEO acceptance criteria

    No requirement to match or beat pre-launch Core Web Vitals.

  • Content removed or shortened

    Unique copy replaced with theme boilerplate across PDPs.

  • Tracking breaks mistaken for sales loss

    We verify analytics before blaming the theme.
