Design Packs: Optimized for Speed and Performance
At Design Packs, we prioritize speed and performance to ensure the best possible experience for both store owners and their customers. Here’s how we optimize every section in Design Packs:
Responsive Images
When you upload an image to any section, we automatically serve the correct image size to the visitor by leveraging Shopify's CDN (Content Delivery Network). This technique, known as responsive imaging, dynamically serves the most suitable image size based on the visitor’s device. As a result, images load faster and consume less data, particularly on mobile devices.
Lazy Loading for Improved Speed
We utilize lazy loading on images that appear below the fold to enhance page speed and loading efficiency. This means only the images out of the initial view are delayed in loading until they come into view as the visitor scrolls down. By focusing on below-the-fold images, we reduce initial page load times while improving performance. You can read more about browser-level image lazy loading here.
JavaScript: Loaded Only When Needed
To ensure our sections are as fast as possible, we only load JavaScript libraries as required. This means that scripts are loaded on a per-need basis—they’re only added to a page when a specific feature or section requires them. This targeted approach keeps unnecessary resources from slowing down your site.
Deferred Script Loading
All of our scripts are loaded using deferred loading. Deferred scripts wait until other essential scripts have loaded first, ensuring that your site’s core functionality and content are not delayed by additional features. This keeps your page loading smoothly without unnecessary interruptions.
