Low visual Stability - pages loading slowly

[TrendBlend]

Hello, my URL is TrendBlend. And I'm noticing that my sections on my product page are having some issues loading in. URL Product page: Steuerbarer LED-Vorhang – TrendBlend. I also got this Low visual Stability error. What can I do to improve load speed?

Hey TrendBlend,

I understand how frustrating it can be when sections on your product page don’t load smoothly, and that “Low Visual Stability” error can definitely impact user experience.

To improve load speed and visual stability, here are a few tips:

1. Optimize Images: Large, high-resolution images can slow down your page. Try compressing images and converting them to next-gen formats (like WebP), which load faster without losing quality.

2. Minimize Apps and Scripts: Too many apps running on the product page can affect load time. Disable any unnecessary apps or scripts, especially on high-traffic pages.

3. Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images and videos so they load only when users scroll down, improving both speed and stability.

4. CSS and JavaScript Optimization: Minify CSS and JavaScript files to reduce their size, which can also boost loading times and improve visual stability.

Hello! It looks like you're facing some frustrating loading issues on your product page at TrendBlend, particularly with sections not loading properly and encountering a low visual stability error. Here are a few quick tips to improve load speed:

1. Optimize Images: Ensure all images are compressed and sized appropriately.
2. Minimize HTTP Requests: Limit the loaded files by consolidating CSS and JavaScript.
3. Fix Render-Blocking Resources: Identify and defer any scripts that slow down your main content loading.
4. Enable Lazy Loading: This helps by loading images only when they are in view, speeding up initial load times.
5. Reduce Third-Party Scripts: Limit third-party integrations that may be affecting speed.
6. Check for Console Errors: Use developer tools to identify and fix any errors impacting loading.

I tested your product page using Google PageSpeed Insights: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-de-trendblend-eu-Produkte-Steuerbarer-LED-Vorhang/jh0e2h79a... and noticed that the mobile device's core web vital score is low.

Upon closer examination, it appears that the main product image affects the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). This image may require some parameter updates to adjust its loading priority, ensuring it loads earlier in the process, which can lead to significant improvements.

Additionally, the Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is impacted by layout shifts caused by web font files taking too long to load and an excess of CSS and JavaScript files. It’s important to note some of these layout shifts in the CLS metric.

You will likely discover several other specific metric errors that a developer will need to address manually to enhance overall performance.

Hello @Website_Speedy,

Regarding "Upon closer examination, it appears that the main product image affects the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). This image may require some parameter updates to adjust its loading priority, ensuring it loads earlier in the process, which can lead to significant improvements.". Are you talking about the images for the product itself (1), or is the main problem for loading the image in the extra product description (2)?

Hi @TrendBlend  

Absolutely! It seems that the main product image is impacting the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) on your site and requires some additional parameters to be added. I recommend trying the Website Speedy app for Shopify, which can help optimize your site's performance. You can find it here: https://apps.shopify.com/website-speedy This app can make a significant difference in improving your LCP and overall loading speed!

Hello @guru-gen, how would I be able to preload the css/js, when the landing page is mostly the product page and not any other page on the website. Can you share an example of how to do this? Thank!
