Initial challenge

Following the launch of the new Cisalfa Sport storefront, mobile loading remained slow, layout shifts affected customer confidence and conversion performance was below expectations.

  • Elevated mobile loading times
  • Critical cumulative layout shift
  • Instability across key funnel stages
  • A need to prioritise work by business impact

My contribution

I joined as a performance and conversion consultant, using Core Web Vitals and journey data to identify where technical issues had the greatest commercial impact.

  • LCP and TTFB analysis
  • CLS elimination across critical layouts
  • Frontend asset and rendering optimisation
  • Validation against customer-journey KPIs

Approach and delivery

The roadmap ranked interventions by impact and effort rather than chasing a synthetic score in isolation.

Technical changes were validated repeatedly across representative devices and funnel stages to ensure that measured speed translated into a more stable experience.
