Why is my website loading slowly?

Hey everyone,

Here's my site : www.stashandstow.com

It takes forever to load - can anyone please help with this? 

Thanks

Hi @StashStow!

I quickly checked out your website and it seems to be loading pretty quickly for me.

I went ahead and ran your site through our free Shopify Analyzer tool. You can find a breakdown of what could potentially be improved at https://analyze.speedboostr.com/result/fs5oeksedj.

It looks like you could benefit from:

• improving lazy loading (see our blog post on lazy loading )
• image optimization 
• reducing hidden images on product pages

Hope this helps!

Hi @StashStow, 

I'm Richard - CRO Expert from PageFly. I've used the Google PageSpeed to analyze your site and it turns out that there are several improvements need to be done since your score is 26/100. Let me list out what you should do:

- Remove unused Java Script:

Hi @StashStow ,

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.

Unused Css :

 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.
