A Shopify store owner is experiencing issues with GIFs not displaying on their live website (toximania.store), though they appear correctly in edit mode.
Specific Problems:
Solution Provided:
A respondent advised that GIFs cannot be added through custom Liquid in this manner. Instead, they should be downloaded and added directly through Shopify’s built-in sections like Image or Slideshow. However, they cautioned against using GIFs altogether, as they can significantly slow down store performance.
Status: The issue has a suggested workaround, though the recommendation is to avoid GIFs entirely for performance reasons.

Hi
You cannot add it through custom Liquid like that. Please download the GIF and add it directly to sections such as Image or Slideshow. However, we recommend not using GIFs as they can significantly impact your store’s speed.
