Hello, I ran analysis on my site today and noticed that it has been gradually declining in score. It appears that an old app “Option.ymq.cool” which I uninstalled months ago is still running? I am relatively good at shopify but AM NOT a coder by any means. Please, can anyone help?! Here is a screenshot of the pagespeed insight.
Thank you!!
Hi there @rareairdiscs !
Thanks for reaching out here in the Shopify Community and thanks also for sharing all that clear info with us here, that’s great!
In cases like this where code has been added by a third-party app, it would often remain in your theme’s code unless manually removed.
Luckily, third-party app developers are responsible for providing support for their creations and this includes helping to remove such code from your themes.
I did some checking using the info you provided here, and it looks like the app in question might be Product Options Variant Option by YMQ.
If this is correct, you can use the contact info there on the app store page to reach out to the developers of this app for support with removing their app’s code.
We’ve got more info on improving your store’s page speed report here on our help site that you can check out too.
Can you tell me a bit more about your business and what you’re working on currently?
Thank you Don! I will reach out to the app and try to have them remove it. Does anything else stand out that could be slowing the site down? I’ve tried compressing photos and cleaning up some other unused apps.
currently I am working to get Facebook and google integrated and have about half of my products Correctly documented. It’s a tricky situation with disc golf discs (which is what I sell). Sometimes it seems it needs to have a unique barcode attached. Sometimes it needs to have “custom product” checked.
thanks for checking in!
If you’re removing an app, then consider removing code that was added as part of the app install process. Some apps help you with this process by wrapping their code in {% comment %} tags that mention the app name. Removing unused app code is a best practice that avoids running code for unused features, and makes your theme code easier to read.
You have to check the JS file (App JS)where it is coming and remove it from your theme files. May be it is located at the head of your web page.
Both file ymq-option.js and ymq-option.css you have included in theme.liquid as script src.
remove both the link from theme.liquid file.
There is no need of both files if you have deleted the app.
Hi again @rareairdiscs !
Thanks for getting back to me here with that extra info.
There’s some good further info on our Shopify Plus blog on some steps you can take to optimise your store you can check out to see if any are applicable for you.
Could you tell me a bit more about the issues you’re running into with Facebook and Google?
Are you setting these up within your Shopify admin or on those platforms directly, and, if on Shopify, are you seeing any specific error messages or codes relating to the products you’re working on?
The more info and context you can share the better we’ll be able to find where you can get more info and support on this.
Hi don- sorry for the delay!
the biggest issue I’m having is the Google Product Number error for my product (disc golf disc) I normally use code 3484 for category and then custom product button. But sometimes that doesn’t work. I make barcode codes with the shopify app that makes barcodes but sometimes it Doesn’t like them. Any advice on how to continually get products synced to google / Facebook?
Hi again, @rareairdiscs !
No need to apologise!
I’d like to take a closer look at any errors or rejection notifications given by Google in these cases if you’re happy to share some images here.
Ultimately, it appears this decision is down to Google, though the code you shared here would seem to be the correct one for the products in question.
If you haven’t already, check out Google’s own support resources on this, to see if there’s anything helpful there.
