Multiple possibilities, from your network speed to the large resources used on the site, can cause our app to load slowly. We’ll discuss those possibilities and the solutions here.

Reasons behind the slow app loading:

1. Your site might not be well-optimized. The store can have large images, javascript, and scripts from other apps, making your store slow, and as a result, our app is loading slowly, too.
2. The view backgrounds or image sets use very high-resolution background images or large-sized images.
3. A large number of image swatch elements with lots of options are provided in a single product.
4. If the font file is huge and used in the text element.
5. Slow internet connection or internal network issues.

Solutions:

1. If the app loads very slowly, use a site diagnostic tool like Gtmetrix to determine which resources are slowing your store.
2. Use less resolution and properly compressed background images. The recommended resolution is not more than 1000 px in width and height. If there are many options, the recommended size is 500KB or less.
3. If the image set has many images, you are advised to use a tag and a custom thumbnail. The thumbnails could be 100px in width and height.
4. Modern image formats like “webp” are suggested instead of PNG, JPG, and JPEG.
5. Use fewer elements from the app to keep the page faster.
6. You can add the following class to the “add to cart” button to keep it hidden until our app fields are loaded.
