Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a dilema. I have used WP pretty much solidly the past two years for nearly all sites where you are spoilt for choice on plugins and many being free too and have always liked and found Prestashop very good for ecom in the past too.
This time I liked what I was hearing about Shopify and dived in perhaps too quickly and have spent a lot of time and money building my store here. I'm very happy with the look of my site bar one thing which is that the product images are not all the same size.
I ran all images through tinypng.com before adding to the site and then also ran both template and product images through an excellent app available here Minifier - Image and Website Optimization By Studio4 UAB using the Lossless system and then for others like background images where the quality is not so important ran through the Lossy system to reduce even further.
I cannot really do much more with my images but cannot find any other page speed performance apps for things such as minfy js/css/html etc do any exist?
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150910_XB_12RV/ you will see here my site is taking over 12 seconds for the first visit which is just of no use at all.
Are there any apps I'm overlooking that can help here? I don't seem to be able to find any but thought I'd ask the community before I seriously start thinking about leaving Shopify already which I would really rather not do having spent so much time money and effort on it.
Many thanks
Tim
