How can I improve my site speed?

Topic summary

Site speed has been declining over recent weeks despite minimal site changes. A request for the store URL was made, and the URL was provided (www.tyhanaus.com.au).

Recommendations emphasized reducing app and feature bloat and optimizing Shopify-specific assets:

  • Delete unwanted apps.
  • Deactivate unused features within apps.
  • Optimize CSS and JS files.
  • Disable or remove features not in use.
  • Implement lazy loading for images.
  • Optimize Liquid code (Shopify’s templating language).
  • Host static resources within Shopify rather than external sources.

Clarifications: CSS (styling) and JS (functionality) optimizations typically involve minification and deferring non-critical scripts; lazy loading delays image downloads until they enter the viewport; Liquid refers to the theme/template code in Shopify.

No resolution or performance results have been reported yet. The final suggestion was to hire a developer to carry out the optimizations, and the discussion remains open pending further action or feedback.
