Hey, @alizaali78 .

Thank you for bringing your question to our Community forums. I completely understand the importance of increasing your store speed. I’m happy to provide some suggestions!

To gather some more context, may I ask which theme you are using? Typically, there are 4 culprits if your customers are experiencing slow loading times:

  • Theme customizations: When you edit or customize themes, file sizes can increase and affect your store speed. If you have a heavily customized theme, this may be something to take into consideration.

  • Too many apps trying to load at one time: The more apps that are running at once, the longer the loading times will be. Determine if you really need all those apps and If you’re not using them at all, then you should remove them. I know you mentioned that you have removed several apps, which is a great start.

  • Image sizes: The larger the image size and the more videos and slideshows you display, the longer it will take to load. You can use an app such as: Image Optimizer. We also have a great blog article with 10 Must Know Image Optimization Tips.

  • The end-user/customer browser, device, and internet connection: This is something you won’t have control over of course, but it is good to keep in mind.

I recommend checking out this Shopify document in regards to Improving your online store speed, as it contains many great suggestions. If you are using a free Shopify theme, our team may be able to help with basic performance improvements. You can learn more about the support available, in our Support for themes document.

In the meantime, how has everything been going with your business? If there is anything else I can help with, please let me know!

Hi @alizaali78 ,

Welcome to the shopify Community.

I have checked your store in lighthouse chrome extension, the score is low.

You need to work on your website performance’s speed. Low mobile page speed may kill your traffic and affect your conversion.

3rd party apps & codes which take time to load and their size . They decrease the speed.

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 .

By fixing these issues, your website speed score can definitely improve.

And we will provide an assured guarantee plan for the website speed optimization.

Hi, @alizaali78 I just checked your website and it’s still in very bad condition.

A one-second delay in page load time yields:

11% fewer page views
16% decrease in customer satisfaction
7% loss in conversions
A few extra seconds could have a huge impact on your ability to engage visitors and make sales.

This means that having a fast site is essential not just for just google ranking but for keeping your bottom line profits high.

How to speed up your website in 2022
Minimize HTTP requests.
Minify and combine files.
Use asynchronous loading for CSS and JavaScript files.
Defer JavaScript loading.
Minimize time to first byte.
Reduce server response time.
Choose the right hosting option for your needs.
Run a compression audit. and so on.

Increase page scores to 80+ (mobile)
Increase page scores to 90+ (desktop)
Optimize front/back end
Remove unused JavaScript
Eliminate render-blocking resources
Defer offscreen images
Remove unused CSS
Lazy load pages.

hello @alizaali78

Site speed is very important because if the speed is not good there will be the site bulky means lagging up to open the website so speed optimization will be very important so don’t think just do all possible things to boost up your site speed.

and I also look up your website ranking it will also no so good
here is your website ranking 2712678 (Alexa ranking) and interlinking of your website will be total (3) so that’s result will also not be so good so I ll give you the best advice you first work on your website and also the look and feel of your website was not so that level, its a very basic site who totally run on debut theme,

so for making a customer-oriented website you will have to do much much more work to change the look and feel of the website, you sell beauty and cosmetics products but it will not catch the attraction, because you run your website on Shopify and it will contain lots of attractive and customizing features so used it and make it your website quite simple and looking much attractive to attract more beauty and cosmetic oriented customer,

so here is the list which I give you to improve your website

  • website revamping
  • product title and its category optimization
  • make an excellent presence on social media
  • the go with SEO like on-page and off SEO
  • There are two types of SEO’s
    search engine optimization which gives your website a better search experience
    Mobile and Pc speed optimization.
  • then the next one will be a focus on sales and put a lot of effort to convert the customer or increase the traffic of the website. and covert the customer and sell the product

so think about all the points sequentially and work on it

thanks and regards
