Hyperspeed Documentation

Hyperspeed automatically optimizes new content added via the Shopify admin based on your enabled settings:

• Images: New product images and images added to the theme's assets folder are compressed if image compression is enabled.
• Apps: New apps are deferred automatically if app optimization is enabled.
• Theme Customizer: New sections and blocks are optimized because they use existing optimized code.
• Product Descriptions: New images in product descriptions are LazyLoaded if Product Description LazyLoad is enabled.

Hyperspeed provides two primary image optimizations:

1. LazyLoading: Loads images only as they are about to enter the viewport, reducing the initial page load weight.
2. Responsive Image Sizes: Serves the most appropriately sized image based on the display area (e.g., loading a 300px wide image for a 300px space instead of a 1000px image), which saves bandwidth and increases speed.

Upon first launch, Hyperspeed provides an onboarding wizard to optimize your store. The process consists of the following steps:

1. Introduction: Initial welcome screen.
2. Optimize Your Images: Configure image compression settings and start the optimization process.
3. Choose Theme Optimization Options: Select specific theme optimizations to enable. This step generates a preview and does not modify the live theme immediately.
4. Preview Your Optimized Theme: After 5-10 minutes, review the generated preview. Verify that images load correctly, sliders function, the 'add to cart' feature works, and the visual layout is preserved. If issues occur, return to the options step to disable specific features.
5. Publish Your Optimizations: Select 'Publish' to make the changes live on your store.

To reduce page weight and improve load times, implement the following changes:

• Remove unnecessary third-party scripts. Contact app support teams to ensure code is fully removed from the theme upon uninstallation.
• Replace homepage slideshows or carousels with a single static image to avoid JavaScript overhead and improve Core Web Vitals.
• Remove videos and GIFs, replacing them with static images or external links to prevent pages from becoming too heavy.

Certain Shopify integrations can slow down site performance. To improve speed, consider the following:

• Turn off Google Pay in Shopify settings.
• Disable reCaptcha from Shopify.
