Google PageSpeed Insights
Running your marketplace through Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev) is supported, but some results may not fully reflect how Arcadier marketplaces are structured. The tool may flag certain CSS and JavaScript files that are part of Arcadier’s core platform.
These files are essential to your marketplace’s functionality and layout. Even if PageSpeed Insights highlights them, they do not negatively affect your site and should not be removed or modified.
Understanding Your Site Performance
Your marketplace’s loading speed depends on several factors, including both local and non-local conditions.
Local factors include:
Device performance
Browser type
Internet connection speed
Non-local factors include:
Page design and layout
Image sizes and media usage
Third-party scripts and integrations
If your site feels slow, test it across different devices and networks. If the issue occurs only in specific environments, it is likely a local issue rather than a platform-related one.
Improving Site Loading Speed
There is a balance between performance and visual or interactive features. While these features improve user experience, they should be used in moderation.
To improve loading speed:
Optimize image sizes
Limit heavy homepage content
Reduce unnecessary third-party scripts
Avoid excessive custom code
PageSpeed Insights should be used as a guidance tool, focusing on actionable recommendations rather than individual warnings.
