Store:

If a store owner has been uploading photography as PNG, convert to JPG, compress via squoosh or GTmetrix and reupload.
Check all apps and plugins and tracking tools. Remove anything that isn’t absolutely necessary and doesn’t help conversion rate.
In collections and featured products, if there is a second product image which displays on hover, remove it.
Remove large sections on mobile like parallax backgrounds, or use srcset if possible.
Implement Lazyloading where it makes sense
Load instafeed asynchronously, and lazyload
Lazyload images in slick and other sliders
Load smaller size instafeed images
Srcset for any product listings such as collection page and featured products
Combine stylesheets and scripts where possible
Using font-display to render fallback fonts and swap them on load
Load google fonts asynchronously using WebFont loader
Check which fonts are used where, don’t load unnecessary fonts.
Don’t load JS plugins, carousels, instafeed etc…on pages where they are not used.
Async or defer all scripts where possible.

Product page:

Check if a zoom plugin is loading a huge ‘master’ version of the image
Related products section — reduce number of products, maybe even to 4 or 8. Randomize using Shopify time.
Lazyload related products
Compress all product images via squoosh or similar, if time allows
Old themes probably aren’t using srcset and sizes on product images
If there are a lot of images in a carousel like Slick — you can use lazyload: ondemand
Low-res product thumbnails. Also they can be lazyloaded
Lazyloading related products

Down goes the Rich Text setting for the Alioned Blog

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

H1 Static and dynamic content

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing.
