Optimise pagespeed of shop

Hi,

I tested my shop with pagespeed (mobile) – score is 35.

When I test your demo (shop alternative, which is mine), score is cc 30

When I test the demo of a competitive theme, they reach cc 90. They said me to have shared server and WP Rocket.

Following your recommendation, as you know, I bought WP Rocket. Everything is activated but gzip since my server has Brotli.

My info below

Hi,

We compared both reports and see a few differences between your shop page and your example:

1. Images size. Try to set products images size to 270.

2. Google fonts. That demo doesn’t have Google fonts loaded.

3. Lazy loading for images. You can try to use our theme’s lazy loading option.

And general loading time for each individual resource like an image on that example is better than on your website. It doesn’t depend on the theme but mostly on your server.

Regards

Hello,
Thank you very much for those insights. Lazy loading and cache are activated, and I don’t understand why, on google pagespeed, I have a super long list of photos, when others don’t.
My server is not an issue, it’s in France, high tech, and I also checked when both most of US and Europe sleep (ie very early morning for me).

Do you recommend to make site without google font and without revol slider?

Try to temporarily use our theme’s lazy loading instead of WP Rocket one.

And for testing purposes, try to disable google font as well. Revolution slider shouldn’t harm the performance on a shop page if you don’t use it there.
