Who this is for

Compress Video for Website: Who We Work For

Video optimisation suits particular situations. These are the six we meet most.

You are a good fit if
  • You have videos that slow your store
  • You want a fixed price and a written scope for Video Compression & Optimization for Shopify
  • You can share your original files
  • You own the store and approve the changes
  • Stores with a slow homepage

    A heavy hero video drags the first screen.

  • Owners with raw footage

    Phone or camera files are far too large.

  • Brands with background video

    Looping clips must be small and muted.

  • Stores with many product videos

    A standard keeps them all consistent.

  • Mobile-heavy audiences

    Phone viewers need smaller versions.

  • Owners watching page speed

    Video is the heaviest item on the page.

Problems solved

Why Store Videos Slow the Page

Video is the heaviest media on most stores. These six problems explain why it hurts speed.

  1. Files are too large.

    Raw footage is uploaded as it came off the camera.

  2. One version serves all.

    A desktop file is sent to a phone on mobile data.

  3. Background video is heavy.

    A hero clip loads before anything else.

  4. No poster image.

    The video area shows blank until it loads.

  5. Autoplay with sound.

    Browsers block it and visitors are annoyed.

  6. Nothing is measured.

    Nobody checked the page before and after.

Process and timeline

How Your Video File Optimisation Is Delivered, Start to Finish

Six clear steps. Nothing goes live without your approval, and your calculator choices set how long each one runs for the video file optimisation.

  1. 1

    Brief and asset review

    You describe what good video file optimisation looks like for your store and customers. We write the plan down.

  2. 2

    Choose how we get access

    A collaborator request is all it takes, though a Partner-account build and transfer is fine too. We never ask for your password during the video file optimisation job.

  3. 3

    Audit every video and set the targets

    We list each video, where it appears and how heavy it is, then set a size and quality target for each use so nothing is shrunk more than it needs to be.

  4. 4

    Compress, place and measure

    We convert each file, make mobile and looping versions, add poster images, place the clips on your pages and test the pages before and after so you can see the change.

  5. 5

    Check against your brief and your store

    Every video file optimisation item is compared with the brief, and anything that lands in your store is checked across devices. Anything that is off is corrected before you see it.

  6. 6

    Deliver and hand over

    We hand over the video file optimisation after sign-off with files and written notes. Your revisions are included and you are never locked in.

What Protects Your Store and Your Budget During Video Compression & Optimization for Shopify

Six habits keep your store, your brand and your budget safe while we handle the video file optimisation.

Quality over blind shrinking

We check each file by eye after compression, keep your originals untouched and tell you if a video cannot be made lighter without a visible loss.

Least access needed

We ask only for the access your video file optimisation needs, through Shopify's own sharing tools where a store is involved, and remove it when we finish.

Working files are yours

Final and working files for your video file optimisation are handed over, so another person could use them later.

Checked before you look

Every video file optimisation item is checked against the brief first, so your review covers taste and wording, not faults.

No promised sales

We make video file optimisation to help shoppers decide, and we never promise revenue, rankings or reach.

Rights respected

We only use images, fonts, music and text you own or that are properly licensed in your video file optimisation, and we say which.
