How do I make my Shopify store load faster?
Short answer
Remove unused apps and their leftover code, compress and properly size images, limit custom fonts, lazy-load content below the fold, and avoid heavy sliders and pop-ups on mobile. Test with PageSpeed Insights on mobile after each change.
The biggest wins usually come from:
- Uninstalling apps you don’t use and removing their scripts from the theme.
- Serving images in modern formats at the size they are displayed.
- Replacing autoplay hero videos and carousels with a single strong image.
- Loading chat widgets, reviews and tracking scripts after the page is interactive.
Aim for product pages that become usable in under two seconds on a typical 4G phone.
