Your product images are not showing because they may be missing, broken or your theme is not loading them correctly. First, check in Shopify admin if the images are uploaded under each product. If they’re there, the issue is likely in the theme code or due to a customization error.
It could also be caused by lazy loading not working properly, a third-party app interfering, or image URLs being blocked by the browser or network. Try checking the site in incognito mode or on a different device to rule out cache or CDN issues.

It sounds like you're facing two interconnected issues: image loading problems and overall slow website performance. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this:
Ensure your images are properly compressed before uploading. Use tools like:
Shopify recommends keeping image file sizes under 500 KB for optimal performance.
Use JPEG for photographs
Use PNG for images that need transparency
Consider WebP for better compression and faster loading (Shopify supports WebP by default on modern browsers)
Sometimes, themes or third-party apps can cause lazy loading issues or failed requests. You can:
Inspect the site in Chrome (Right-click > Inspect > Network tab) to identify any image errors.
Disable recently added apps temporarily to see if the issue resolves.
Shopify automatically serves images via a fast CDN. Make sure you're using the {{ image | img_url: '800x' | img_tag }} or {{ image | image_url: width: 800 }} Liquid filters for optimized delivery.
Use tools like PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to analyze performance issues and get actionable tips.
