Why Store Speed Really Matters
Speed isn’t just a number—it directly affects how shoppers feel on your site. A slow store makes people leave. Even a one-second delay can cut conversions and frustrate customers.
Heavy images, autoplay videos, or too many apps often drag down performance. If your store loads slowly, especially on mobile, customers may never even see your products.
Quick Fixes to Improve Speed
- Compress images before uploading. WebP format is ideal.
- Remove apps you’re not actively using.
- Use lightweight Shopify themes built for speed.
- Limit the number of fonts and external scripts.
A fast-loading store improves user experience, SEO, and sales—so it’s worth the effort.
Improve Performance Without Breaking the Site
Many store owners install apps or add features without realizing the speed cost. Apps that load external scripts or track behavior can slow things down behind the scenes.
Videos are great for storytelling, but if used incorrectly, they can kill load times. Avoid auto-playing videos on mobile. Always compress and host them properly.
Best Practices for Media and Apps
- Use lazy loading for product images and embedded videos.
- Host videos on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, not directly on your store.
- Test performance regularly—especially after installing a new app.
- Limit homepage content to essential elements only.
Speed tuning doesn’t mean removing features—just using them smartly. Keep things clean and focused, and your store will run faster and sell better.
