It's Fast

Shopify is fast. This is because of hosting on Googles Cloud Server. On the front end, customers get a fast response on all devices even if only using 3G. On the backend in the admin panel, response times are excellent.

From previous experience of using various eCommerce platforms such as Magento and WordPress, we can say they have tended to be slower on both the front and backend. The reason for this is that these platforms are hosting typically on a shared hosting plan resulting in slower loading times. With Googles Cloud Server and Shopify, this is not the case. The result is better performances all round.
