The Result
Challenge
The creators of the Miku Smart Baby Monitor had a theme that was out-of-date and riddled with unnecessary code and unused app scripts. Slow website UX can quickly deteriorate usability and first-time shopper trust, and lead to a drop off in conversions.
Approach
- Elimination of render blocking (JavaScript was loading before styling).
- Removal of unused JavaScript and CSS.
- Defer off-screen images.
- Shift styling from the footer to header.
- Remove or defer loading of product page sections with a heavy load.
- Remove unnecessary apps and uninstall app remnants where applicable.
Learnings
Most sites we work with frequently have old and unused app scripts and/or code that weighs down the site speed. It takes a trained eye to remove these without impacting site functionality and Prismfly's team is seasoned when it comes to this type of project.
