Optimize Shopify API performance with GraphQL query cost reduction, bulk operations, caching strategies, and Storefront API for high-traffic storefronts. Use when queries are slow or hitting THROTTLED errors, exporting large datasets, or optimizing API throughput for a high-traffic storefront. Trigger with phrases like "shopify performance", "optimize shopify", "shopify slow", "shopify caching", "shopify bulk operation", "shopify query cost".

# Shopify Performance Tuning

## Overview

Optimize Shopify API performance through GraphQL query cost reduction, bulk operations for large data exports, response caching, and Storefront API for high-traffic public-facing queries.

## Prerequisites

- Understanding of Shopify's calculated query cost system
- Access to the `Shopify-GraphQL-Cost-Debug: 1` header for cost analysis
- Redis or in-memory cache available (optional)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Analyze and Reduce Query Cost

Use the debug header to inspect `requestedQueryCost` vs `actualQueryCost`. Reduce cost by selecting only needed fields and lowering `first:` page sizes (250 to 50 can cut cost by 5x).

See [Query Cost Optimization](references/query-cost-optimization.md) for debug commands and before/after examples.

### Step 2: Use Bulk Operations for Large Exports

Bulk operations bypass rate limits and are designed for exporting large datasets. Start a mutation, poll for completion, then download JSONL results.

See [Bulk Operations](references/bulk-operations.md) for the complete mutation/poll/download flow and performance comparison table.

### Step 3: Cache Frequently Accessed Data

LRU cache layer with webhook-driven invalidation. Cache product data for 5 minutes, then clear on `products/update` webhook events.

See [Response Caching](references/response-caching.md) for the complete implementation.

### Step 4: Use Storefront API for Public Queries

The Storefront API has separate rate limits and is designed for high-traffic public storefronts. Uses `LATEST_API_VERSION` from `@shopify/shopify-api`.

See [Storefront API Usage](references/storefront-api-usage.md) for the complete implementation.

## Output

- Query costs reduced through field selection and page size optimization
- Bulk operations configured for large data exports
- Response caching with webhook-driven invalidation
- Storefront API used for public-facing high-traffic queries

## Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `THROTTLED` on every query | `requestedQueryCost` too high | Reduce `first:` and remove unused fields |
| Bulk operation FAILED | Query syntax error | Test query in GraphiQL first |
| Stale cache data | Cache not invalidated | Add webhook handlers to clear cache |
| Storefront API 403 | Wrong token type | Use Storefront API access token, not Admin |

## Examples

### Reducing Query Cost on a Product Sync

A product sync job hits THROTTLED errors. Analyze the cost breakdown, reduce `first:` page sizes, and remove unused fields.

See [Query Cost Optimization](references/query-cost-optimization.md) for debug commands and before/after examples.

### Exporting Orders with Bulk Operations

Export 50,000 orders with line items using a bulk operation that bypasses rate limits and returns JSONL results.

See [Bulk Operations](references/bulk-operations.md) for the complete mutation, polling, and download flow.

### Caching Product Data with Webhook Invalidation

Add an LRU cache layer for product queries that auto-invalidates when `products/update` webhook events fire.

See [Response Caching](references/response-caching.md) for the complete caching implementation.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
