The following are the most important advanced fixes:<\/span><\/p><ol><li><b> Compress CSS and JavaScript:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you publish your theme, Shopify will automatically compress assets. Custom code added by apps or style changes, on the other hand, can&#8217;t be compressed. To get rid of extra code, use online compressors or the theme editor.<\/span><\/li><li><b> Defer Scripts That Block Rendering:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add the defer or async property to your theme&#8217;s non-essential JavaScript tags. This tells the browser to keep loading the page while the script downloads.<\/span><\/li><li><b> Inline Critical CSS:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The styling needed to show text above the fold is called critical CSS. One render-blocking request is taken away when you inline it in your HTML. This is an advanced change that should only be made by a worker.<\/span><\/li><li><b> Leverage Shopify&#8217;s CDN:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> All of your files are stored on a global CDN by Shopify. It is important that all of your images, fonts, and files are shared through Shopify and referred to using Shopify asset URLs instead of hosting them somewhere else.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><b>5. Reduce Third-Party Script Impact: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seodiscovery.com\/\"><b>best digital marketing services<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will audit all of your third-party scripts, like ad pixels, chat widgets, and stats.
