Hi Everyone, my website is: [www.toyscardsnbikes.com](https://toyscardsnbikes.com/)
I need better performance and faster load times?
Do any of you know why my site may be slow?
My Speed Score on Shopify is a 36.
On Average my Mobile Score is a 40.
On Average My Desktop Score is a 80 + [Much Better].
Would like Mobile and Desktop to be over 90.
It may be from previous apps I added then decided
to get rid of -- but how can i check in the code which ones are not being used?
You can try to fix the following issues on your store and this will improve your store Speed scores, load time, Google page speed scores, Core web vitals. GTmetrix scores.
The only way to remove residual code from uninstalled apps is to contact the app providers. Therefore, I suggest you reach out to them and ask for assistance in removing residual code.
Other than app code, there’re still many factors affecting your website speed:
Factors you can’t control
Your customer’s device, network, and location
Shopify infrastructure
Content delivery network (CDN)
Local browser cache
Server-side page cache
The assets inside the content_for_header Liquid tag
Factors you can control
Themes
Themes are made up of Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. When you edit or customize themes, file sizes can increase and affect your store speed.
Complex or inefficient Liquid code
You can edit almost all of the Liquid that is used to render your store. There are efficient and inefficient ways of writing Liquid code. Doing complex operations repeatedly can increase your Liquid render time, which impacts your overall store speed.
Images and videos
High-resolution images usually require large files and therefore slow down page loading times.
Fonts
If you use a font that does not yet exist on your customer’s computer, then the font has to be downloaded before your text can be displayed.
I suggest you try AVADA SEO Suite which has great features that can help you with improving site speed such as Image Optimization, Speed Up, Lazy Loading, and Minification (removes unnecessary information from the source code**)**.
