A user identified Shopify’s chat/inbox feature as the primary cause of slow website loading times. While the chat needs to be present on every page, they’re seeking ways to delay its loading or minimize its performance impact.

I’ve just done an analysis of my websites speed and noticed that Shopify’s chat / inbox is the main culprit slowing my websites loading times down. It is important to have it on every page, but it doesn’t need to be the first app to load!
Is there a way of delaying when it loads or reducing it’s impact on the speed of the website load?
Many thanks,

Yes, i can do it. It’s bit complex, so it would be a paid task
have you found a solution?
