Hi Shopify Community,

We have started RandM Welt Vape store on WordPress but we have faced some issues like High LCP, FLP, and other speed optimization issues. Our core web vitals have failed due to this.

Can Shopify allow us to make store on this platform with high speed optimization? You can check website to check core web vitals and other speed optimization issues.

@Xeric poor core web vitals is very common for websites, especially you install a bunch of third-party tools (like tracking, pixel, etc), regardless which platform runs your site, it works the same way. Shopify is no magic here - if you simply migrate your web pages/contents from Wordpress to Shopify, you will end up with the same poor score. I would suggest looking the reasons for the high LCP etc and do some technical analysis on the web page assets (e.g. images, scripts, etc). There're also tons of speed optimisation plugins on Wordpress.

 

So either Shopify or Wordpress, you can achieve high score (especially mobile score), but it requires efforts on the optimisation.

Both WordPress and Shopify allows speed optimization.  Few strategies that works well:

 

  • Prioritize Critical Resources: Identify the key assets for LCP, typically images, videos, or large text elements above the fold, and ensure they load first. Use rel="preload" for important resources.
  • Minimize Render-Blocking Resources: Reduce or defer CSS and JavaScript that block rendering, ideally inlining critical CSS for above-the-fold content.
  • Lazy Load Non-Essential Images: Only load images below the fold when needed by the user. This reduces the initial load time and focuses resources on above-the-fold content.
  • Set Size Attributes on Images and Media: Define explicit width and height attributes for images and videos to reserve space, preventing layout shifts as the content loads.
  • Optimize JavaScript Execution: Minimize JavaScript by eliminating unused code and deferring non-critical scripts. Split large bundles into smaller chunks to load only what’s needed.
