can you share your store URL?
Topic summary
Store owner reports a speed score of 44 (slower than similar Shopify stores) and asks how to improve it. After sharing the URL (www.ninosbakeryeg.com), multiple replies request access and provide general optimization advice.
Key findings and metrics: A Lighthouse test shows very low performance. Focus areas include FCP (First Contentful Paint), TTI (Time to Interactive), TBT (Total Blocking Time), LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift).
Factors you can’t control: customer device/network/location, Shopify infrastructure, CDN, local/browser/server caching, and theme header assets.
Actionable optimizations suggested:
- Compress and properly size images; consider apps for bulk compression.
- Remove unused/third‑party apps and limit external JavaScript.
- Upgrade to a lightweight/OS 2.0 theme; reduce JS payload; minify JS/CSS; use Critical CSS.
- Apply lazy loading; replace GIFs with static images; preload and limit web fonts.
- Address render‑blocking resources, reduce server response time, avoid redirects, set efficient cache policies, and keep DOM size reasonable.
Resources and offers: Links to Google Lighthouse scoring and Shopify Help Center; third‑party guides; one app (AVADA SEO Suite) and several experts offering audits/optimization services.
Status: No confirmed resolution. Next steps are to implement the suggested optimizations or engage an expert.
