Are there any easy/relatively simple ways to increase loading times for my store?

Hi,

I've been trying to improve my PageSpeed performance score on my shopify store; pawpparel.org. I've tried compressing my images & using smaller image files, but it only seems to either do nothing or actually decrease my score. PageSpeed insights advises towards splitting up JS payloads into smaller loads to improve loading speed, but I'm not a web developer nor do I trust my abilities in JS without breaking code 😞 If anyone has any suggestions that would be super helpful!
(Side note: I have no apps besides a cookie popup app which is pretty lightweight and shouldn't make a huge impact)

With regards to your inquiry about site speed, give these resources a review to see what else you can do to improve your store's speed:

Thank you so much Daniel! I’ll let you know how they work out. My store is doing alright just trying to get the site as fast as possible 🙂
