If you run a business and know how important it is for your website to load quickly, you have one obvious goal: to keep improving your page’s performance. Using Swift’s newest Optimize Theme engine makes speed-optimizing your store’s theme contents easier.
Why you need an Optimize Theme tool
- Boost store speed and increase Google PageSpeed Insights score to win customer satisfaction and improve your SEO.
- Assist you in simplifying/automating technical activities. So you will have more time to run your businesses while decreasing difficulties.
Optimize Theme provides a stable experience and renders content to your customers faster with:
- Lazyload images: LazyLoad stops unseen images from loading, and as result, helps to avoid a negative impact on your website speed. We’ll also use responsive image sizes to load the right image size each time, stopping large images from hurting your page speed.
- Minify CSS and HTML files: Minification takes the beautified, well-formed code (CSS/HTML files), and removes the spacing, indentation, newlines, and comments to reduce the size of the source code, making its transmission over the Internet) more efficient.
- Minify JavaScript files: Minifying JavaScript files can reduce payload sizes and script parse time. The Opportunities section of your Lighthouse report lists all un-minified JavaScript files and the potential savings in kibibytes (KiB) when these files are minified.
- Preload web fonts: Web Fonts (most used is Google Fonts) pulled from the web aren’t as fast as system fonts (those installed on your computer). Web traffic outside of your website becomes part of the loading speed. Therefore, preloading your web fonts is worth doing to improve your site’s loading speed.
- Extract critical CSS: A technique that extracts the CSS for above-the-fold content in order to render content to the user as fast as possible.
Keep in mind that Swift allows you to automate the process of optimizing the theme. Simply activate it, and your store will be automatically optimized.
