If your Shopify store's front pages are lagging and stuttering before entering the page, there are a few things you can try to improve the performance.

1. Optimize your images
Large images can cause slow page loading times. Use an image compression tool like TinyPNG or JPEGmini to reduce the file size of your images without sacrificing quality.

2. Remove unused apps
Unused apps on your Shopify store can cause slow loading times. Go through your installed apps and remove any that you no longer need.

3. Minimize HTTP requests
Each extra script and stylesheet you add to your website increases the number of HTTP requests, which can slow down your website. You can minimize HTTP requests by removing any unnecessary scripts and stylesheets from your website.

4. Use a faster Shopify theme
If you're using a slow theme, consider upgrading to a faster theme. Shopify has many fast and lightweight themes that can significantly improve the speed of your website.

5. Optimize your code
Make sure your code is clean and optimized, without unnecessary code or scripts that slow down your website. You can use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to identify any issues with your code.

6. Enable lazy loading
Lazy loading is a technique that only loads images and other content when the user scrolls down to them, rather than loading all content at once. This can significantly improve the initial load time of your website.

By following these tips, you should be able to improve the performance of your Shopify store's front pages and provide a better user experience for your visitors.
