How can I improve my Wix store’s page speed without affecting design elements?
This question is related to Wix Editor.
I run an ecommerce store using Wix and Sellvia, and I’ve noticed that my page speed is slowing down, especially on mobile. I want to optimize my site’s performance while keeping the design and images intact. Slow load times are affecting user experience and potentially conversions.
What have you already tried:
- Compressed images and used WebP format
- Enabled Wix’s built-in performance optimization
- Limited the number of apps and custom code running on my site
- Checked Google PageSpeed Insights, but the recommendations seem a bit complex
I’m looking for practical solutions that have worked for others. Are there specific Wix settings, third-party tools, or coding tweaks that can help improve site speed without compromising design? Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi @Samuel_Walker ,
It sounds like you’ve already done a great job optimizing images and limiting apps, but there are still a few more things you can try to boost your Wix store’s page speed without sacrificing design.
Image Optimization
Although you’ve already compressed your images, consider using the Wix Image Editor to fine-tune image sizes specifically for different screen sizes. Ensure images are not larger than necessary, especially for mobile.
Minimize Render-Blocking Resources
In addition to the Wix Performance settings, minimize render-blocking JavaScript and CSS. You can do this by deferring or asynchronously loading custom scripts and reducing heavy CSS files.
Alternate,
For a practical solution, I recommend trying the Website Speedy app from the Wix App Market. This app automatically optimizes your site’s performance by handling tasks like image compression, improving Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS), and enhancing lazy loading, all while preserving your design and content. It’s especially useful for improving speed without affecting the look of your store.
Key benefits of Website Speedy:
- Optimizes images without losing quality
- Improves loading times for both desktop and mobile versions
- Simple to install and comes with a 14-day free trial to test its effectiveness
