Ecommerce Website Design Company, Huemor, Discusses How to Increase Your Shopify Site Speed

NEW YORK, May 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nobody likes a slow website. Modern times are all about immediate results, and if shoppers don't get them, they'll leave your site in the dust in favor of your competition. To prevent this from occurring, ecommerce website design company, Huemor, discusses how to optimize your Shopify site to make it faster than ever. Find out how you can get a lightning fast Shopify store below:

    1. Understand Your Performance Metrics. It's important to know how fast your
       site is performing and why it's performing at that speed. Pingdom is your
       go-to tool for assessing your website's load time and hunting down any
       bottlenecks. Simply typing your URL into the Pingdom tool will give you a
       comprehensive analysis of your site, providing a series of optimizations
       you can make to improve the performance speed.
    2. Address Mobile Users. Utilize AMP, or Accelerated Mobile Pages, on your
       website to allow mobile users to quickly access your site on the go. More
       than 50% of online shoppers shop from their mobile phones, so making sure
       your Shopify website is tailored to mobile users is essential to having a
       successful ecommerce website.
    3. Reduce the Number of Apps Installed. It's easy to get carried away with
       Shopify apps, as they are so easy to install and apply to your website.
       However, too many apps cause your website to lag, even when not in use.
       Reduce your website's HTTP requests by limiting the number of apps you
       have installed and work to prioritize the apps you know are essential to
       your Shopify site, getting rid of the rest. Once this is done, you'll see
       an immediate improvement in loading speed.
    4. Compress Your Images. Optimizing your images for speed is important when
       developing quick web pages. This can be done by compressing your images
       for faster loading pages, but keep in mind the quality of the image while
       doing so. Replacing all images on your site with optimized versions will
       dramatically improve your website speed.
    5. Pick a Fast Theme. This may be a no-brainer, but some Shopify themes are
       known to be faster than others. Test a few before deciding on one,
       perhaps utilizing Google insights to see how the site theme performs. The
       top 3 themes to use are Kingdom, California, and New Standard, but there
       are many others offering solid Google insight scores that ensure your
       site has a fast foundation to build page speed.

Having a fast Shopify website is essential for ecommerce success. Take these tips into consideration and offer your customers a refreshingly fast site with some beautiful visuals to help close the sale.
