Online store speed is 27

[Blueibear]

my online store speed is 27, and I am not quite sure why. I know it says to delete unused code, but I’m not sure how to determine that. I am not all that proficient in coding. I am using a Shopify free theme. It’s kind of off-putting that Shopify doesn’t seem to really want to offer much help in the way of speeding up the themes they offer without making you hire a Shopify expert, when you pay a monthly fee to them. Can anyone offer any assistance please? My URL is https://www.retronisce.com

Hi @Blueibear ,

I have gone through your store. Your store looks good.

I have checked your site in the page speed tool. your website score is very low.

Lighthouse Score for Mobile :

Page speed score for mobile view:

3rd party apps & codes which take time to load and their size . They decrease the speed.

Need to work on following points 

• Theme Upgrade if there is a scope and upgraded theme available
• Reduce JS Payload.
• Use Critical CSS .
• Reduce Large Image Sizes
• Compress Images
• Limit Third Party JavaScript & Shopify Apps
• Preload Web Fonts. 
• I would suggest limiting to one and using a standard web font.
  

See where exactly google speed index tools want you to target your code to optimize the site .

First Contentful Paint

• Eliminate render-blocking resources
• Reduce server response times (TTFB)
• Avoid multiple page redirects
• Preload key requests
• Avoid enormous network payloads
• Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy
• Avoid an excessive DOM size
• Minimize critical request depth

Time to Interactive TTI :

Time to Interactive (TTI) is one of six metrics tracked in the Performance section of the Lighthouse report. Each metric captures some aspect of page load speed.

Total Blocking Time: 

• Reduce Unnecessary JavaScript loading, parsing, or execution.  
• Reducing JavaScript payloads with code splitting, removing unused code, or efficiently loading third-party JavaScript.

Speed Index

• Minimize main thread work
• Reduce JavaScript execution time
• Ensure text remains visible during webfont load

Largest Contentful Paint

LCP is primarily affected by four factors:

• Slow server response times
• Resource load times
  

Cumulative Layout Shift

• Cumulative Layout Shift measures the movement of visible elements within the viewport

By fixing these issues, your website speed score can definitely improve.
And we will provide an assured guarantee plan for the website speed optimization.
