Why is my ecommerce store speed drastically decreasing?

[diamors]

Hello,

I have been looking at my shopify speed this past week, and its seemed to drop an insane amount. 

I have made a few changes, 

1. I removed an underline on my main menu
2. I changed one column in the main menu to be split into two columns.
3. Added a custom app page for booking appointments

Is their any other factors that would've caused my shop speed to be cut in half? I can't seem to understand how this would've completely destroyed my store speed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I understand how much store speed can effect UX and conversions. 

Thanks for reading,

Please provide the store URL.

Hello,

Here is the link to my store.

My speed score in Shopify reports dropped to 28 for a period of two days. There is a third party service  where they are saying that they can increase the speed to 95+. I think I am going to go this route as it is very fairly priced

Thank you,

Cameron
