I am using Nibodi- Home 3 Theme. My developer has tried everything but the site loading speed is still showing at 3.74 s on Shopify. How to improve this? Also Visual Stability is showing as 0.35 which is really low. Is it the theme thats a problem or some other reason? We checked for unneccessary javascript etc , optimised the images to ensure they are all webp, even replaced a Hero Slider with an image to speed up loading but the result remains the same. Any suggestions?
Pagespeed is a very complex topic.
To summarise it briefly in technical terms: Every structure of the theme has to be analysed. As long as we know what the basic code looks like without any changes, we can make a reliable statement. Unfortunately, many developers don’t believe in optimisation during development. Minimalist code should be the standard. Unfortunately, we often see shops that have been tinkered with in the code.
In order to increase page speed, the overall picture must be considered. JAvascripts, images, code itself. Are the images loaded via Lazyload? Are they rendered to certain dimensions directly in Liquid? What other scripts are loaded? Is a licence check carried out before the correct code is loaded?
Unfortunately, there are only complex answers to these questions.
Thanks for the feedback. So what would you suggest to get my site checked to understand how the speed can be improved?
