Hi

I’v done a lot to improve my speed score, including payment app to increase my speed (I feel improvement I got to say).

All my images on the site has been resized and optimized through special site.

Removed any unecessary app, section or block.

Still, my store has very low speed score.

What I need to do?

It’s hard for me to change theme because I got a lot of templates and coding changes on my theme.

Hey @Ell_Soll !

It sounds like you have been very proactive so far in finding ways to improve your site speed.

There are a few things you can try to improve your website speed score even further:

  • Minimize the use of custom fonts: Custom fonts can add extra load time to your website. Consider using system fonts or limiting the number of custom fonts you use.
  • Use lazy loading for images: Lazy loading can help speed up your website by only loading images as they become visible on the page. This can reduce the initial load time of your website.
  • Reduce the number of external scripts: External scripts, such as those for social media sharing or chatbots, can slow down your website. Consider removing any scripts that are not essential.
  • Enable compression: Compression can reduce the size of your files and speed up your website. Enable compression for your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
  • Consider using a Content Delivery Network (CDN): A CDN can improve website speed by caching your website’s content on multiple servers around the world. This reduces the distance between the user and the server, resulting in faster loading times.

If you still find that your website speed score is low, it may be worth considering investing in a Shopify expert who can review your website and suggest more specific improvements. They may be able to help you identify areas for improvement that you may have missed.
