Hey everyone, my Webflow store feels kinda slow, especially on mobile. Since I use Sellvia, I want a smooth shopping experience. I’ve optimized images, cut down animations, and enabled lazy loading, but it’s still not great. Any easy fixes to speed things up?
Hi there,
Slow loading times can significantly impact user experience. Here’s how you can improve your site’s performance:
Your first step should be checking the site usage dashboard to identify bandwidth-heavy assets. From there, you can optimize your site by:
- Converting and compressing images using the WebP conversion tool
- Clearing unused styles from the Style selectors panel
- Using classes to style elements instead of individual styling
- Minimizing the number of linked elements and third-party integrations
For more detailed guidance on styling with classes, check out our documentation on styling elements with classes. You can monitor your site’s resource usage through the site usage dashboard, and optimize images using our WebP conversion tool.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Hi @leolion2121,
It sounds like you’ve already done a lot of great optimization work on your Webflow store, but there are still a few more things you can try to further improve speed, especially on mobile.
Reduce the Number of Embedded Fonts
Fonts can have a big impact on loading times. If you’re using custom fonts, consider reducing the number of font weights or styles. Only load the ones you need, which can help decrease the amount of time it takes to render text on the page.
Optimize JavaScript and CSS Files
Check if there are any unnecessary JavaScript or CSS files loading on your site. Removing unused files or deferring the loading of non-essential scripts can free up bandwidth and improve load times.
Minimize Third-Party Integrations
Sometimes, third-party apps or integrations (like Sellvia) can slow down the site. Make sure that any third-party tools are essential and are loaded efficiently, especially for mobile users.
For further improvements, I recommend trying the Website Speedy app for Webflow. This app automatically optimizes your site’s images, speeds up the loading process, and tackles Core Web Vitals issues, which are crucial for both mobile performance and overall site speed.
It’s easy to set up and comes with a 14-day free trial, so you can test it out and see the improvements before fully committing.
