Topic summary

A store owner is experiencing issues with oversized collection grid images on their homepage that make customers think the site is broken or not loading properly.

Problem Details:

  • Collection images appear extremely large at the top of the page
  • Attempted solutions (reducing pixel size, “adapting to image”) haven’t worked
  • Square images remain massive while rectangular ones display correctly
  • Store owner lacks coding knowledge to implement fixes

Suggested Solution:

  • Convert the collection list into a horizontal slider format
  • This would display all collections in a single row that users can swipe through
  • Recommended due to the large number of collections being displayed

Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved. The discussion includes reference images showing the problematic display, though the image URLs appear corrupted in the thread.

Hello,

I was just wondering if someone could help me with my store.

I used to have the collection grid (https://sarahsscentcrafts.co.uk/collections/all ) at the top of the page but they are so big customers were saying the website is broken and it’s not loading the page or products.

I’ve tried reducing the image pixel size and “adapting to image” but the square images stay massive while the rectangle images change their size.

I don’t know code to be able to go in there and spot the problem. Thank you, Sarah

Hey Sarah, you have too many collections to show so even if the size is reduced it will still not look good. The best thing in my opinion would be to make the collection list a slider so it’s all in one row and user can just swipe to reveal.
