Hi @Rahul42 ,
I recently checked Shopify store www.vijayandsons.com from the Dawn theme to the Horizon theme. I run a traditional Indian jewelry store, and while I love the new layout and styling options, I’ve encountered some issues with mobile responsiveness, which are critical since most of my visitors browse via mobile devices.
Mobile Layout Not Rendering Properly
I checked on a few different devices. The homepage and especially the category section (Necklaces, Earrings, etc.) appear cluttered or cut off on smaller screens. It seems the layout is not fully responsive.
Suggested Improvement:
Convert this category row into a horizontal slider/carousel with auto-rotation to improve usability and aesthetics. This would enhance navigation and make better use of screen space.
Quick Links Section - Readability Problems
On mobile, the Quick Links area is hard to read and interact with due to:
- Small font size
- Tight padding/margins
- Overlapping buttons on smaller resolutions
Suggested Improvement:
Redesign this area with larger, more tappable buttons, or consider using an accordion-style layout for a cleaner mobile UX.
Performance Report (Google PageSpeed Insights)
I ran a test via PageSpeed Insights https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-vijayandsons-com/dc4ctzfyun?form_factor=mobile, and here are some key findings for the mobile version:
Recommendations to Improve Mobile Performance:
Unused CSS:- Use Shopify’s theme customizer to remove unneeded app styles.
{%- stylesheet ‘theme.css’ -%}
Render-blocking resources:- Use Defer non-critical CSS/JS, and add async/defer attributes where possible.
LCP image optimization: Use lazy loading, compress hero images, and add fetchpriority=“high” for LCP elements.
![{{ section.settings.alt_text }}]()
Improper image sizing: Serve responsive images using img_url with correct size filters (e.g., img_url: ‘800x’).
Alternative, if you do not want to invest much time on optimizing yourself, you can try our speed optimization Shopify App called Website Speedy that comes with a 14-day free trial. It will do the optimization automatically for you.
