Hello @Xpressive ,

Gina here from flareAI - your Fully Automated Free Sales Machine. Hope you are doing good! I am happy to share some suggestions for your query.

Please consider liking and accepting the solution if it helps.

Follow the below tips that will help you decrease the load on your web pages.

  1. Reduce the HTTP requests. For example: Combine & inline your CSS scripts
  2. Minimize broken links and redirects - Avoid unnecessary Redirects and fix broken links
  3. Using slideshow, which are high-quality images combined with transitions, take time to load when the user clicks the link to the homepage. So instead you can use a single high-quality hero image.
  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. Don’t add too many images on a page
    Adding too many images on a page can be frustrating. It can significantly slow the load time of your website. Also, it can overwhelm visitors, which will ultimately result in a poor user experience, a high bounce rate, and a high probability of lower rankings in relative search results.
  6. To reduce the initial load time, you can use Lazyload technique
  7. 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.
  8. Third-party integrations
    If you have third-party integrations like payment gateway, shipping apps that are not optimized can slow the cart update process.
  9. Heavy use of JavaScript
    If your theme or apps use a lot of JavaScript, it can slow down the cart update process.
  10. You can run the Shopify Theme Inspector for Chrome to identify the lines of code that are slowing down pages in your online store.
  11. You can use Google PageSpeed Insights to view more detailed metrics for pages in your store.
  12. Use minified CSS and JS files

Hello @Xpressive , I am known really educated on this matter but I do know if a friend who had a speed issue with their store and was able to get it fixed when they reached out to the Shopify support team so I guess you could try that too.
