Website Speed

Anyone have tips on how to increase my overall website speed for mobile, along with speeding up my product pages?

I know stuff like: optimize image, use a website testing etc etc.

Any other solid, non-intuitive ones that I can implement? Like should I hire a coder to eliminate unneeded code or something?

Can you provide url. What CMS/framework?

As stated before. Give us more details about your setup. A URL would help a lot too.

As the other members said above, it would help to tell us which framework you're using.

If you're using wordpress, which is a popular choice, then the 2 main things you can do for speed are 1)use as few plugins as possible - stay away from the clunky ecommerce plugins, and 2)use a simple, fast theme - do a search on "fast wordpress themes" and you'll find some.

For custom pages - we have a section in the FAQ thread on how to optimize for speed that may help - search for "Try decreasing your page load speed!" in the post below:

Hope that helps! And do let us know which framework you're using to get more specific and relevant suggestions.

There's AMP, accelerated mobile pages, but it's quite stripped down so won't work for all types of content.

Basically my advice above for wordpress sites will apply to Shopify also, i.e. use as few plugins/apps as possible, and choose a fast theme.

You can also optimize the theme for speed - here's an article on how to do that:

Just to expand on AMP for Shopify (especially since you're specifically looking for speed increases on mobile), check out the following:
