I need a developer who can dive straight into my theme files—sections, layout and assets—and bring my Google PageSpeed scores up without disrupting how the store works or looks. What’s happening • The hero product image on the homepage is the Largest Contentful Paint element, yet PageSpeed still won’t treat it as fetchpriority="high". • Several stylesheet files (component-image-with-text.css, component-cart.css, base.css, among others) are flagged as render-blocking. • These two issues together are dragging LCP and total load time down. What must stay untouched Product pages, the checkout flow and every core store function need to behave exactly as they do now. Visual design can’t break. Scope of work 1. Analyse current theme code to locate every render-blocking request. 2. Optimise or defer CSS/JS in a way that satisfies PageSpeed while preserving existing styling. 3. Apply fetchpriority or an equivalent solution so the main homepage image loads first. 4. Deliver the updated theme code and a short changelog so I can track what was altered. 5. Verify the fix by running a before-and-after PageSpeed test and sharing the results. If you’ve handled Shopify theme performance—especially LCP and CSS blocking—please tell me how long you’ll need and your price for the job.
