PrestaShop how to improve for google page insights

Improving your PrestaShop store’s performance on Google PageSpeed Insights can help improve the loading speed and user experience of your website, as well as improve your search engine rankings. Here are some tips to help you improve your PrestaShop store for Google PageSpeed Insights:

  1. Optimize images: Large and unoptimized images can slow down your website. Optimize images before uploading them to your store and use a plugin like “Smush” to further optimize images on your website.
  2. Minimize HTTP requests: Every time a page loads, it makes multiple HTTP requests to the server. Minimizing these requests can significantly improve your website’s loading speed.
  3. Minimize the use of plugins: Installing too many plugins can slow down your website, as each plugin adds additional code to your website and makes additional HTTP requests. Minimize the use of plugins and only install those that are necessary for your store.
  4. Use caching: Enabling caching can significantly improve the loading speed of your website by serving cached pages to users instead of generating a new page for each request.
  5. Minimize the use of heavy and custom scripts: Custom scripts and heavy scripts can slow down your website. Minimize the use of custom and heavy scripts and use lightweight alternatives whenever possible.
  6. Use a fast and optimized theme: Choose a fast and optimized theme for your PrestaShop store, and avoid using themes that are heavy and slow.
  7. Minimize the size of CSS and JavaScript files: Large CSS and JavaScript files can slow down your website. Minimize the size of these files by combining them, compressing them, and using asynchronous loading whenever possible.

By following these tips, you can significantly improve the performance of your PrestaShop store on Google PageSpeed Insights and provide a better user experience for your customers. Note: The specific steps and results of these optimizations may vary depending on the version of PrestaShop you’re using, the theme you have installed, and the customization you have made to your store. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, it’s recommended to consult the PrestaShop documentation or reach out to the PrestaShop support team for assistance.
