I am running on a Shopify plus site and my speed is only showing “moderate” and we are scoring a 51 on Page Insights. I have compressed PDF uploads and used small image sizes. Our site is very visual and the nature of the product needs to be content heavy. Can anyone assist with how to improve the site speed?
