In our test shop, Session Recording and Replays reduces performance score by 1-2 points. The shop scores 97-98/100 without the app and 96/100 with the app.)

All apps will affect performance score to some degree. 1-2 points is very minimal.

You can test our app's effect on performance in your shop by testing your site in Google Lighthouse with and without our app installed. Here are the steps:

  1. Open a new private browser tab in Chrome. (This is *Important* as browser extensions reduce performance considerably, and private browser tabs open without them.)
  2. Measure your site's performance with our app. To do this, go to your website, open Chrome developer tools (F12 key on PC or Ctrl Option J on Mac), click on the Lighthouse tab then click the 'Generate Report' button using the' Performance' and 'Mobile' options. You may want to do this a few times to get an average score as performance scores will vary slightly each time you measure. 
  3. Measure your site's performance without our app. To do this, delete our app from the Apps page then perform step #2 again. (App can be reinstalled here: https://apps.shopify.com/session-recording-now)
  4. This will give you the performance scores with and without our app.
