Why the usual way fails
Many store builders add features through apps and plugins, and each one tends to bring its own scripts that load on every page. Over time the store gets heavier, and keeping it fast becomes a technical project of its own. Search basics like sitemaps, canonical links and structured data often depend on yet another plugin or on someone who knows how to set them up by hand. And if you sell only inside a big marketplace, your product pages live on its domain, so the traffic they earn builds the marketplace's presence instead of yours.
How Towami helps
Towami storefronts are server-rendered and kept light on purpose, with minimal JavaScript and no plugin weight, and catalog pages are typically generated in 5-10 milliseconds. The architecture aims for 100/100 in Google PageSpeed, which is an engineering target rather than a promise, since your photos and any third-party scripts affect the final score. Clean, indexable URLs, sitemaps, canonical links and structured data come built in. From the Start plan you also get search preview, 301 redirects and Search Console.

Step by step
- Build your store on Towami and connect your own domain, so the pages build your presence on Google.
- Write each product page with the details a buyer would search for, such as size, material and where you deliver.
- Resize and compress product photos before you upload them.
- Leave out third-party scripts you do not really need, such as extra trackers or chat widgets.
- On Start or higher, check how pages will look in search with search preview and connect Search Console.
- Run your own pages through Google PageSpeed after your real content is in, and fix whatever it points at.
Tips
- Photos are the usual reason a fast store slows down. Large images straight from a camera or phone weigh far more than a product page needs, so shrink them before upload.
- If you are moving from another platform, set up 301 redirects from your old product URLs to the new ones, so links and search results that point to the old pages still reach you. Redirects come with Advanced SEO on the Start plan.
- Use informational pages for the questions buyers search for, like delivery areas, returns or how to choose a size. Even the Free plan includes up to 5 of them.
- Test the store on your own phone over mobile data, not on office wifi. Layouts are mobile-friendly by default, but your photos and text are what the shopper actually waits for.
Questions
Is a 100/100 PageSpeed score guaranteed?
No. 100/100 is the engineering target. Your final score depends on what you upload, such as photo size and third-party scripts.
