Ecwid and Elfsight page speed issues

When embedding ecwid and elfsight widgets, it really causes my mobile page speed scores to drop significantly. Does anyone have any best practices that can prevent this from happening? Is there a way to lazyload these to prevent the slowdown? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi David,
I have the same problem… I tried to reduce the negative effect by:

  • making sure that a ‘defer’ statement is inlcuded in the script tag, for example:
  • evacuating the widget to a separate page (and certainly not putting it on the home page.

I also have bad response times indicated by pagespeed test on most mobile websites (desktop seems to be ok). And often simplify the websites and work on image formats etc… to improve the situation. But to be honest, I have not yet made 1 website where the response times results for the mobile viewport is ok.

I also did a very cumbersome exercise on my new website to try to eliminate all non-used CSS and JS from the code, but that is almost unfeasbile? Would be good if Sitejet would automatically eliminated what is not used…

kind regards
Mark
