# Will This App Affect Performance?

Rubik Variant Images & Swatch is designed to be fast and lightweight. It does not slow down your product pages or negatively affect your Core Web Vitals.

* Uses Shopify metafields to store image data, which is lightweight and stored natively in the Shopify backend.
* Runs on asynchronous JavaScript, so none of the logic blocks page rendering.
* Makes minimal changes to your theme structure, especially when the app embed is enabled.
* Fully compatible with Shopify's caching system for faster and more stable load times.

Rubik Variant Images & Swatch loads only when needed, keeping your product pages fast on both desktop and mobile, even when a product has many variants and images.
Many merchants notice improved user engagement and faster decision making after activating variant-specific images.
