@Asad_Khan ,

I have gone through your store. Your store looks good.

I have checked your site in the page insight chrome tool. your website score is very low.

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.

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

Remove unused CSS and unused JS:

  • Check assets folder of the theme and remove unused CSS and JS file
  • Check and remove unused apps
  • If your store has not install any app you can comment {{ content_for_header }} code in theme.liquid (not recommended if you don’t have a knowledge about the liquid)

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 Asad,

When it comes to site speed, please note that there are several factors impacting your online store speed, some of which you can control, others you cannot.

Factors you can’t control- Your customer’s device, network, and location

  • Shopify infrastructure

  • Content delivery network (CDN)

  • Local browser cache

  • Server-side page cache

  • The assets inside the content_for_header Liquid tag

Factors you can control- Unnecessary Apps

When you add apps to change the functionality or appearance of your online store, they add code into the theme so they can run. Some code can be removed or reordered to improve your online store’s performance. If you’re not using an app, then you can remove it.

  • Themes

Themes are made up of Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. When you edit or customize themes, file sizes can increase and affect your store speed.

  • Complex or inefficient Liquid code

You can edit almost all of the Liquid that is used to render your store. There are efficient and inefficient ways of writing Liquid code. Doing complex operations repeatedly can increase your Liquid render time, which impacts your overall store speed.

  • Images and videos

High-resolution images usually require large files and therefore slow down page loading times.

  • Fonts

If you use a font that does not yet exist on your customer’s computer, then the font has to be downloaded before your text can be displayed.

I suggest you try AVADA SEO Suite which has great features that can help you with improving site speed such as Image Optimization, Speed Up, Lazy Loading and Minification (removes unnecessary information from the source code**)**.

I hope my answer can help you achieve your goals.
