Boosting Mobile Performance For Nova Rattan Dining Chair Website
Boosting Website Speed and Google Web Vitals of Nova Rattan Dining Chairs on Smithers of Stamford
We treat both design and performance as equally important at Smithers of Stamford - not only when it comes to our furniture but also when it comes to our website performance. A stunning piece like our Nova Rattan Dining Chair deserves to be shown off to its full potential both in design and in performance, which is why our development team has made targeted improvements on Core Web Vitals to reach a Google PageSpeed score of 95 percent or higher for mobile users.
Diagnosing the Performance Drop While conducting site speed tests of our Prestashop 1.7.6 website, we noticed a drop in speed in the Largest Contentful Paint score on mobile, especially on older iOS devices. This was most evident on pages showing LCPs exceeding 60 minutes, for instance on the homepage banner with large images taking too long to render and the Nova Rattan Dining Chair page and similar product listings displaying wrong image sizes and thumbnails on mobile devices. While our mobile site had a WebP setup and all thumbnails had been converted to WebP, it still showed large desktop versions instead of mobile-specific ones, slowing performance.
Our Technical Fixes We adjusted the Prestashop image assignments so mobile devices serve correct thumbnail sizes and ensured WebP images take priority over JPG, with JPG files only used if required by user settings.
Homepage Banner Adjustments We reduced and optimised banner images to help improve LCP without losing visual quality and added lazy loading for below-the-fold banners and large visual elements.
Backend Optimisations We enabled browser caching to cut down on repeat requests and updated CDN delivery rules to prioritise mobile-oriented assets.
Trialling Changes on Staging Before applying any changes to our live site, all modifications went through checks in our development environment at dev.smithersofstamford.com to ensure stability. Mobile PageSpeed Insights scores were carefully assessed after every modification, with fine-tuning made until results were optimal.
