Images are 788KB larger than needed and delay LCP by 600ms due to oversized files and poor compression.
Configure your image service (battery.twic.pics) to serve appropriately sized images for mobile viewports. Implement responsive images using Shopify's image_url filter with different sizes. Enable better compression settings on your CDN to reduce file sizes by up to 70%.
A score of 88 falls in the "Needs Improvement" range (50-89). While it is better than poor (0-49), you should aim for 90+ to provide an optimal user experience and maximize SEO benefits.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This Shopify site has good performance with a score of 88/100, but there are still significant opportunities for improvement. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS files (particularly Bootstrap) that are delaying page rendering by an estimated 880ms, impacting both First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint. Additionally, images without explicit width and height dimensions are causing layout shifts (CLS score of 0.182), making the page feel unstable as it loads. Deferring non-critical CSS, adding image dimensions, and optimizing the largest images could easily push this site into the 90+ performance range and create a much smoother user experience.
Why It Matters:
Bootstrap CSS is blocking initial render, delaying both FCP and LCP by 900ms which significantly impacts user experience.
How to Fix:
Use Shopify's Online Store 2.0 to inline critical CSS directly in the theme's base template. Defer Bootstrap CSS loading using preload with onload fallback, or switch to a lighter CSS framework. Remove unused Bootstrap styles (97% unused) using PurgeCSS or similar tools.
Why It Matters:
Images without explicit dimensions cause 0.182 CLS score as they shift layout when loading, creating poor user experience.
How to Fix:
Add explicit width and height attributes to all product images in your Shopify liquid templates. Use aspect-ratio CSS property for responsive sizing. Reserve space for images using min-height CSS before they load to prevent layout shifts.
