EA• Image & Page Speed Booster and Related Collection Links are both Shopify apps focused on site optimization, but they tackle vastly different aspects. EA• Image & Page Speed Booster aims to enhance the browsing experience by increasing page and image loading speeds through preloading, lazy loading, and image optimization. It targets merchants struggling with slow loading times, particularly on mobile devices, promising to improve conversion rates. The app boasts a simple, near-instant setup process. Related Collection Links, on the other hand, focuses on improving site navigation and SEO by automatically generating links between related collections and, now, products and collections. It targets merchants looking to enhance their internal linking structure, improve user experience by simplifying site navigation, and boost their SEO authority. Its key value proposition lies in automating internal link creation without the need for metafields. Both apps fall under 'Site optimization - Other' on Shopify. The primary distinction lies in their optimization target: EA• Image & Page Speed Booster focuses on page load performance, while Related Collection Links enhances site structure and internal linking for UX and SEO.

For merchants primarily concerned with improving page and image load times, particularly on mobile, and reducing bounce rates due to slow speeds, EA• Image & Page Speed Booster appears to be the better choice, especially given its positive initial reviews (though a small sample size should be considered). It’s ideal for stores already experiencing traffic but struggling with performance issues. The caveat of not improving initial page load speeds is important.
On the other hand, for merchants focusing on long-term SEO strategies, improved site navigation, and enhanced product discovery through structured internal linking, Related Collection Links is the more suitable option. Its strength lies in automating the creation of links between related collections and products, which contributes to a better user experience and stronger SEO foundation. Given no user ratings, a merchant should carefully consider how well its capabilities match their internal linking needs.
EA• Image & Page Speed Booster is specifically designed to improve store speed on mobile devices by preloading and optimizing images after the initial page load. Related Collection Links focuses more on site structure, which indirectly affects mobile usability.
EA• Image & Page Speed Booster explicitly states that it doesn't improve speed scores, as the preloading happens after the initial page load. Related Collection Links focuses on SEO through improved site structure and may indirectly impact Google PageSpeed Insights.
Both apps claim to be easy to install and set up. EA• Image & Page Speed Booster highlights a setup time of less than 10 seconds, while Related Collection Links emphasizes that no metafields are required, simplifying the process.
Related Collection Links likely provides more significant value for stores with large catalogs, as it helps organize and connect products and collections, improving discoverability and navigation. EA• Image & Page Speed Booster's impact is less dependent on catalog size but on the size of the page and the number of images.
EA• Image & Page Speed Booster preloads pages and images that a customer is likely to visit next *after* the first page load. By preloading, the content loads almost instantly when the customer navigates to the preloaded page or views a preloaded image because it's already been cached in the browser.
