[Yacine2020]

Dear all,

my website speed seems to have slowed down considerably over the last month. I was wondering what tools / techniques I could use to identify the technical issues behind this? My website is https://www.artisanoliveoilcompany.co.uk/

Hello there @Yacine2020 from experience, I recommend you try both GTmetrix and Pingdom. They are both very reliable and you should be able to figure things out from there.

Hi @Yacine2020, 

I checked your website using GTMEtrix and Pagespeed tools. You can see the results below.

 The website page size is important in the first place for its loading speed. If you don't optimize the loading speed, you risk losing traffic. SEO optimization considers this phenomenon a priority.

The increase in webpage size is influenced by several factors:

• HTML;
• CSS;
• Java Script;
• images;
• fonts;
• video;
• ads.

You can read more about it in the Yoast article below. 

What is page speed, and how does it influence SEO?

I hope this helps. Good luck with optimizing your Shopify store.

Hey @Yacine2020 , 

Website speed issues can be a pain, especially if things have slowed down recently. Here are a few tools and techniques to help identify what’s causing the lag:

1. Google PageSpeed Insights: Great for a quick overview of what’s slowing down your site. It’ll highlight things like large images, unused CSS, or JavaScript that’s dragging down your load times.

2. SearchPie SEO & Speed Optimize: This Shopify app is great for improving both speed and SEO. It helps optimize images, remove unnecessary code, and speed up load times across your site.

3. SEOAnt ‑ AI SEO Optimizer: Another solid option for both speed and SEO improvements. SEOAnt uses AI to optimize on-page elements and boost load speeds, helping to ensure your site runs smoothly and ranks better.
