@Zworthkey Thanks.
Topic summary
Homepage on a Shopify store using the Impulse theme loads slowly, especially the opening slideshow where images appear gradually despite not being large. A screenshot was referenced to illustrate the slow image rendering.
Proposed solutions included:
- Install a “Page Speed Optimizer” app.
- Apply standard Shopify performance practices: choose a lightweight theme, reduce and compress image sizes, replace GIFs with static images, lazy-load images, limit third‑party JavaScript and apps, migrate tracking scripts to Google Tag Manager, and run diagnostics via Google PageSpeed Insights.
Latest update: The suggested app was tried and reported as unhelpful by the store owner. The recommendation shifted to following the broader optimization checklist instead.
Outcome and status: No confirmed fix implemented yet. Actionable next steps are to apply the listed optimizations and reassess performance. The specific cause of the slideshow’s slow loading remains unresolved and may require deeper theme/image settings review.
