Remove Unused JavaScript Code

High Impact+25 points estimated

Why It Matters

538 KiB of unused JavaScript is delaying LCP by 2.45 seconds and blocking user interactions.

How to Fix

Remove or defer the YouTube embed player scripts that load 538KB unused code. Use YouTube's lite-embed or facade loading instead. In Shopify, edit your theme's template files to replace the full YouTube embed with a lightweight preview image that loads the player only on click.

AI Performance Analysis

This Shopify store has poor performance with a score of 55/100, primarily due to excessive unused JavaScript and CSS that's slowing down the site. The biggest culprit is over 538KB of unused JavaScript from YouTube embeds and Shopify modules, which is delaying your First Contentful Paint by nearly 3 seconds and pushing your Largest Contentful Paint to a slow 11.7 seconds. Removing or deferring this unused code, along with optimizing the 131KB of unused CSS, could dramatically improve your Core Web Vitals and boost your performance score by 30+ points. Additionally, optimizing your images and fixing render-blocking resources would provide further speed improvements for your customers.

Other Optimization Recommendations

Eliminate Render-Blocking CSS

High Impact+18 points estimated

Why It Matters:

CSS files are blocking initial page render and delaying First Contentful Paint by 300ms.

How to Fix:

Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in your Shopify theme's layout/theme.liquid file within <style> tags. Defer non-critical CSS using media='print' onload="this.media='all'" technique. Move the accelerated-checkout CSS to load after page interactive since it's not immediately visible.

Optimize Image Delivery Sizes

Medium Impact+8 points estimated

Why It Matters:

Oversized images waste 42 KiB and delay LCP, especially the hero product image at 665x665 displaying at wrong dimensions.

How to Fix:

In Shopify Admin, regenerate product images at correct display sizes using the built-in image transformation URLs. Update your theme's product card template to use responsive srcset with proper sizes attribute. Set the hero image dimensions to match actual display size of 665x665 pixels.
