Online store performance and site speed optimization
Hi,
My website www.plushkart.com shows a slow speed score, 40 or less and I dont seem to understand the reason for that. All my images are optimized and properly sized.
I only have 8 apps installed and just around 60-65 products as of now. Still the speed score is so low.
And another issue is that when I test my speed on google page speed it returns an error "Lighthouse returned error: NOT_HTML. The page provided is not HTML (served as MIME type text/plain)"
GTMetrix shows decent results.
Anyone can help me sort these 2 issues?
Make sure you are not confusing speed scores with ranking
For pagespeed error not clear what's going on there without deeper investigation, just try another endpoint or url reference
https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplushkart.com%2Findex.html
Which shows apps, third party code is a large offender.
@Plushkart I don't think a 40 using that tool is low, it's at the high end of the average my team sees with Shopify site scores after theme optimization. If you're running a successful ecommerce business and using 3rd party apps it's unlikely you'll achieve a high score with that tool. The Shopify speed score just imports from Google PageSpeed Insights, a general analysis tool.
I would focus on actual load speed and user experience, rather than an arbitrary score. Here's our collective analysis + recommendations: Understanding Load Speed + Analysis Tools and Scoring on Shopify
