Topic summary
A Shopify store owner seeks help with slow website loading times despite trying multiple solutions. They use approximately 12 Shopify apps for essential functionality and cannot remove them. Shopify support has redirected them to third-party theme/app developers without resolution.
Common optimization recommendations include:
- Image optimization and compression
- Implementing lazy loading for media files
- Minifying CSS/JavaScript files
- Removing unused app code and third-party scripts
- Fixing render-blocking resources
- Reducing HTTP requests and broken links
- Using lightweight, OS 2.0-compatible themes
Additional suggestions:
- Focus on user experience rather than perfect speed scores (use tools like Hotjar or Fullstory)
- Reduce products displayed per row on homepage to improve visual clarity and load times
- Consider system fonts instead of custom fonts
- Limit homepage slideshows to 2-3 images
