@spoiledbratuk ,

You need to work on the following points :

  • Theme Upgrade if there is a scope and upgraded theme available
  • Reduce JS Payload.
  • Use Critical CSS.
  • Replace GIFs With Static Images
  • Reduce Large Image Sizes
  • Migrate Tracking Codes To Google Tag Manager
  • Compress Images
  • Limit Third-Party JavaScript & Shopify Apps
  • Preload Web Fonts.
  • I suggest limiting it to one and using a standard web font.

By fixing these issues, your website speed score can definitely improve.

Hello @spoiledbratuk ,

Greetings! I am Gina from the flareAI app.

By following the below steps, you can significantly speed up your Shopify store:

  1. You can compress the images for faster loading web pages without losing the image quality using a tool like TinyJPG
  2. Minimize HTTP requests
    Every time a page loads, it makes multiple requests for various elements such as images, scripts, and stylesheets. Minimizing these requests can help reduce the time it takes for a page to load.
  3. Minimize broken links and redirects - Avoid unnecessary Redirects and fix broken links
  4. Always choose a theme that is responsive, fast, and takes minimal time to load the page
    If you choose a theme with numerous sliders, fancy animations, advanced navigation systems, etc., will affect your page speed. If your theme is loading slow, consider disabling the theme features you don’t need.
  5. Remove all unwanted Shopify Apps which you are not using
    You should disable app features you don’t use, or you can remove the app if you don’t need it. If you are removing an app make sure to remove code that was added as part of the app install process.
  6. You can run the Shopify Theme Inspector for Chrome to identify the lines of code that are slowing down pages in your online store.
  7. Enable lazy loading
    Lazy loading delays the loading of images and other media until they become visible on the user’s screen, improving page load time.

By implementing these tips, you should see a noticeable improvement in the speed of your Shopify store.

Hi @spoiledbratuk ,

I tried exploring your site as a user and couldn’t find any obvious site speed issues. However, when I run it through Page Speed Insights it indicates that there may be some suboptimum speed issues.

This shouldn’t be an issue so long as it is not affecting your customer journey and the UX of the website, but it might be worth checking out our guide on site speed optimization. For example, if you have plenty of apps injecting code into your website it can slow it down.
