Topic summary
Core Issue: Merchants seek guidance on removing unused JavaScript and CSS files to improve Shopify store page speed, particularly code remnants left by uninstalled third-party apps.
Technical Approach Outlined:
- Identify unused JS/CSS files in the theme’s asset folder
- Remove code for uninstalled apps from theme.liquid file
- Use conditional statements (e.g.,
{% if template == 'index' %}) to load scripts only on specific pages (homepage, product, collection) - Check app documentation before deleting files to avoid breaking functionality
Key Warnings:
- Requires basic coding knowledge and familiarity with Liquid templating
- Not recommended without technical background
- Risk of affecting other website functionality if done incorrectly
Common Performance Issues Mentioned:
- Mobile speed scores significantly lower than desktop (30% vs 80% in one case)
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) problems requiring removal of lazy loading above the fold
- Image sizing and third-party code impact
