In Optimizing Shopify Product Pages guide, Optimizing your product pages is critical to improving your online store’s performance. It helps attract more visitors, engage them effectively, and turn them into satisfied customers.

This article will provide you with valuable tips and tricks on how to optimize product pages in Shopify.

1. Improving FCP/LCP
2. Improving CLS
3. Improving TBT

Here are some tips for improving each of these performance metrics:

1. Improving FCP/LCP

• It is one of the most important aspects of website optimization because it is part of a website’s core web values
• FCP/LCP is all about a user’s first impression of a website. It contains the website’s images.
• It is important to optimize the images for screen resolutions since the majority of non-optimized images directly affect a particular web page’s core web vitals.

Optimize Images

• Use high-resolution images that showcase your products from multiple angles. Ensure that the images are correctly sized and optimized for quick loading.
• Compress and resize images to reduce file size without compromising quality.
• Consider adding zoom functionality to allow customers to see the product more closely.

Optimize CSS

• Reduce unused CSS
• Compress CSS
  Example: Remove css like login/create account from the product page.
  Reduce the file sizes of your CSS and JavaScript files by removing unnecessary characters and spaces & also minify the Used CSS and Javascript.
• Minify CSS
  Example: Shopify automatically minifies files, except when there is an error, such as an open closing bracket, but layout design will not be affected.

Lazy Loading

• Implement lazy loading for images and videos, so they only load when they come into the user’s viewport, improving initial page load times. Only the First Image should be removed from lazyload. (Not Needed this only when the lazyload is applied on lazy size library).

3. Improving TBT

TBT will be affected when the page loads because javascript will load during the page load, which is not required.

The best solution is to add lazy loading to the javascript (e.g. tracking script, third party, theme scripts).
