Why Does My Site Feel the Same to me?
Your site may feel the same to you personally even when Speed Layer is improving overall performance for real shoppers.
Why you might not notice a difference right away
Personal testing is limited
One person testing a few times does not represent the range of devices and networks that real shoppers use.
Desktop can hide performance issues
Many performance problems are more noticeable on mobile devices where CPU and network conditions are slower.
Some improvements show up in specific flows
Speed Layer impact is often more noticeable in inventory browsing patterns such as moving from SRP to VDP and back.
Caching affects what you feel
If content is already cached locally, the page can feel fast even without improvements.
What to do
- Test on both mobile and desktop.
- Compare key pages such as the homepage, SRP, and VDP.
- Look for trends in real user experience metrics over time.
