We aim to optimize our store’s loading speed and mobile responsiveness. Can you assess the current performance on both desktop and mobile devices and suggest areas where we might reduce load times or improve the mobile shopping experience?
Topic summary
DracoStones88 requested an assessment of their Shopify store’s loading speed and mobile responsiveness to identify optimization opportunities.
Current Performance:
- Mobile speed score: 95/100
- Desktop speed score: 100/100
- Mobile LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): 2.9 seconds
Key Findings:
DaisyVo from Avada Support confirmed the performance is “truly outstanding,” significantly exceeding the Shopify average of 50-55 on mobile. One image was identified for potential optimization to further improve mobile speed.
Context Provided:
Mobile scores are typically lower than desktop due to slower processors, simulated slower network speeds in testing tools, and device-specific CSS requirements. No urgent action appears necessary given the strong baseline performance.
I’ve reviewed your site’s speed performance, and it’s truly outstanding! Your mobile speed score is 95, and desktop is an impressive 100. Additionally, for mobile, the LCP is still at 2.9 seconds:

- You can improve the speed further by optimizing this image: Link to screenshot
Actually, the mobile speed score is often lower than desktop because of the following reasons:
- Mobile devices generally have slower processors
- PageSpeed Insights stimulates the cell network at a slower speed
- Mobile devices have device-specific CSS rules (re-sizing images, viewport size, etc.)
On average, Shopify stores get 50 to 55 on mobile. So you don’t have to worry much about it.
Thank you!
Best,
Daisy - Avada Support Team.
