Boosting Mobile Performance For Rattan Dining Chairs On Smithers Of Stamford
Boosting Page Performance and Page Experience Metrics of Nova Rattan Dining Chairs on Smithers
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 well-crafted piece like our popular Nova Rattan Dining Chair deserves to be presented perfectly both visually and technically, which is why our development team has made targeted improvements on vital site speed metrics to achieve a Google PageSpeed score of 95 percent or higher for mobile users.
Identification of the Problem While conducting site speed tests of our Prestashop 1.7.6 website, we noticed a drop in speed in Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) on mobile, especially on certain mobile setups. This was most evident on products with LCPs exceeding 60 minutes, for instance on the homepage banner with large images taking too long to render and product pages like our Nova Rattan Dining Chair loading incorrect product images and thumbnails on mobile devices. While our mobile site already had WebP conversion in place and all thumbnails had been converted to WebP, it still served images intended for desktop instead of mobile-specific ones, causing longer load times.
Steps We Implemented We reworked the Prestashop image assignments so mobile devices load mobile-friendly thumbnails and ensured WebP images are always prioritised over JPG versions, with JPG files only used if required by user settings.
Improving the Homepage Banner We reduced and optimised banner images to boost LCP scores without losing visual quality and implemented lazy loading for non-visible banners and oversized assets.
Backend Optimisations We cached static assets to cut down on repeat requests and modified CDN delivery rules to serve mobile-first content.
Testing on Development Site Before applying any changes to our live site, all modifications were tested in our development environment at dev.smithersofstamford.com to confirm everything worked. Mobile PageSpeed Insights scores were carefully assessed after every modification, with iterative adjustments made until results were optimal.
