Hi @thorep 

We would be happy to assist on that as it seems there are a lot of unused scripts that are being loaded.

@JHKCreate how much would that cost? Our store is barley braking even, so we usally use Fiverr help.

We won't need any payment to have a look and remove obvious and heavy scripts as they are a fast affair. Let's try this first, hopefully that will solve it. 

We're send collaborator access now.

We've commented out a few unused scripts, however the main bottleneck in load speed are the images themselves. They need to be resized and make around 200KB maximum, most are at around 8-900KB which is hammering page load speed. 

Updated the images and get back to us when you can!

@JHKCreate thanks for your reply. Do you mean images that are not product images? I have used an app for optimizing the images...

Hi @thorep 

This is PageFly - Landing Page Builder. 

I just tested your website on both my Samsung and iPhone and PageSpeed Insights app. Your page works well on desktop but a bit slow on mobile. You can use Google Pagespeed insight to see the reason via its report here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lykkeengler.no%2Fcolle...

1. The biggest reason that makes your page run slowly is rendering blocking resources: Resources are blocking the first impression of the page. Consider delivering important JS / Inline Styles (CSS) and deferring any non-critical JS / styles. You can click on this field on the report for more detail.

2. Besides, other dramatical reasons are JavaScript, CSS code, and your server's initial response time… Please check your theme.liquid file and remove unused JavaScript

3. You should check both Mobile and Desktop devices in the report. On the desktop, we can see the problem might come from another reason (Image elements are absent width and height clear) . Keep the server responsive to the main document as all other requests depend on that timing.

4. Optimize your images and delayed loading of off-screen images: One of suggestions for you about reducing interaction time. If you want to optimize your images to help your page loading speed faster, you can use some of the image optimization tools like: ImageOptim, Shopify Online Image Resizer, tinypng.com or imagecompressor.com. And If you have images that go with .PNG file, you can convert them to .JPG or .JPEG files

Finally, you can consider some tips to improve the speed page about How to Speed Up Website and Optimize Page Load Time To Win Sales: LINK 

By the way, we are PageFly - a Shopify page builder to customize your page, our app provides the Lazyload function and it's easy to use with a drag-and-drop system and less code needed. Here is a reference: LINK
