Optimizing Your Shopify Store Speed

Why Speed Matters

Slow stores kill conversions. Amazon found that every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. Google also uses site speed as a ranking factor.

Optimization Tips

1. Optimize Images

Use modern formats like WebP and compress images without losing quality.

2. Minimize Apps

Every app adds code to your store. Remove unused apps to reduce bloat.

3. Use a Fast Theme

Choose a lightweight, performance-optimized theme from the Shopify Theme Store.

4. Lazy Load

Implement lazy loading for images and videos to improve initial page load time.
