“Beware, though, that innovation can come at a cost – the negative impact many 3^rd parties have on site speed.

“3^rd party eCommerce technologies are at the center of the shopping experience, delivering innovation that attracts, converts, and grows shopper relationships,” said Rick Kenney, Managing Director, Leading Lights, a leading eCommerce benchmark analyst firm that compiled the 2022 index. “Beware, though, that innovation can come at a cost – the negative impact many 3^rd parties have on site speed. The dynamic version of the 2022 eCommerce Technology Index provides retailers with a powerful, interactive tool to understand the full site performance impact of 3rd parties on shopper experiences.”

The 2022 eCommerce Technology Index examines the site performance impact of the most widely adopted eCommerce 3^rd parties. The data in the index represents 4 billion page views and more than 700 million 3rd party load events from the 1,500 eCommerce sites using Yottaa’s digital experience optimization solutions. The dynamic version of the index was launched today on ecommercespeedhub.com, an educational portal dedicated to digital experience optimization content for online brands.

The average eCommerce site has 40-60 3^rd parties. Some sites have hundreds of these technologies. While 3^rd party features enable brands to provide shoppers with engaging online experiences, they can also slow down load times on unoptimized pages. With the new dynamic index, retailers can easily search and determine the site performance impact of the most popular eCommerce 3^rd parties across a wide range of technology categories. In the index, 3rd parties earn a Performance Impact Rating (PIR) that measures the performance impact on an eCommerce website. PIR scores are stratified on a red, yellow, green color scale based on site performance impact.
