Hi @sao,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I'm happy to provide some assistance with improving your site speed, to ensure this gets resolved. 

To get started, I've gone ahead and made a few suggestions that may help improve your site speed. There are 4 main reasons customers will experience slow loading times including: 

• Too many apps trying to load at one time: The more apps that are running at once, the longer the loading times will be. Determine if you really need all those apps and If you're not using them at all, then you should remove them.
• Theme customizations: When you edit or customize themes, file sizes can increase and affect your store speed. If you have a heavily customized theme, this may be something to take into consideration. 
•  Image sizes: The larger the image size and the more videos and slideshows you display, the longer it will take to load. We also have a great blog article with 10 Must Know Image Optimization Tips. 
• The end-user/customer browser, device, and internet connection: This is something you won't have control over of course, but it is good to keep in mind. 

Additionally, I recommend checking out our Improving Your Online Speed Score document as it touches on a few more tips and suggestions. If you are using a Free Shopify Theme, we may be able to investigate further to provide basic performance improvements. You can learn more about the support available, in our Support For Themes document. 

You may also consider hiring a Shopify Expert. They are trusted third-party agencies and freelancers that work to help improve your business! To learn more, you can check out our Expert Marketplace. 

As for apps, I'd encourage you to head over to the Shopify App Store. We have various apps available that can work to help improve your site speed. For ease, I've gone ahead and listed a few below for you to check out: 

• Tiny SEO Image optimize, Speed
• Booster: Page Speed Optimizer
• Tpt:Speed, SEO Image Optimizer

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hello @sao 

Instead of going for an app. Try to check the errors that are causing your site to load slow. Choose any speed tool like pagespeed.web.dev or https://gtmetrix.com/ and test your site URL. Check the errors which can be resolved. Further try to use as much as low number of third party apps. As they affect the site speed too. Use optimize size images in your site as much as possible. Remove unused apps from the store. 

Also if possible show to a developer to check and increase the site speed by solving the error.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks

Hi,thanks for your response! I already know all you told me,I was searching for a good speed app,right now im using 5 apps and all are for something important..But the point is that I have 200+ products

Hello @sao 

Thanks for the information. But number of products won't affect the site speed. Firstly please check the site code and solve all the possible errors. Then you can use any of the speed app.

Thanks

To get your scores back, recall what apps you loaded after you start seeing a difference. Maybe one of them is making the issue.

Check your internet connection as well- Check in google tracking the performance and reasons for slowing.

5 speed apps? If speed apps could solve problems, how it come and you came to it?  Maybe they messed up all your store
