Reducing First Contentful Paint for a Shopify App

[Olllie]

Hello everyone,

Currently, my app's First Contentful Paint is approximately 3 seconds, and we need to bring it below 2.5 seconds to qualify for the built-for-Shopify program.

I'm reaching out to ask if anyone has any Shopify app-specific tricks to help reduce this value further. Although I've already implemented basic optimizations like image optimization, I'm open to any additional suggestions.

One challenge I've noticed is that a significant portion of the delay is caused by Shopify's own scripts and loading processes, which, unfortunately, I can't directly adjust. Is there any workaround or approach to mitigate this?

Thank you for your assistance!
