Improving Site Performance and Google Web Vitals of Rattan Dining Chairs on Smithers<br><br>We treat both design and performance as equally important at Smithers of Stamford - not only when it comes to our furniture but also in how our website runs. A well-crafted 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 carried out key changes on Core Web Vitals to reach a Google PageSpeed score of 95%+ on mobile.<br><br>Finding the Issues While conducting technical reviews of our Prestashop-based website, we noticed a drop in speed in the Largest Contentful Paint score on mobile, particularly on devices running iOS 10.3. This was most evident on pages showing LCPs running far too high, for instance on the homepage banner with large images slow to display 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 were already WebP format, it still served images intended for desktop instead of mobile-specific ones, causing longer load times.<br><br>Development Actions Taken We adjusted the Prestashop image assignments so mobile devices serve correct thumbnail sizes and ensured WebP images are served first, with JPG files only used if required by user settings.<br><br>[https://freelancehunt.com/project/prestashop-1-7-pokraschiti-largest-contentful/1415627.html Homepage] Banner Adjustments We reduced and optimised banner images to speed up rendering without compromising visual quality and added lazy loading for below-the-fold banners and oversized assets.<br><br>Backend Optimisations We cached static assets to reduce repeat load times and modified CDN delivery rules to push mobile assets first.<br><br>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 confirm everything worked. Mobile PageSpeed Insights scores were carefully assessed after every modification, with iterative adjustments made to reach our 95%+ goal.<br><br>Visitors to our Nova Rattan Dining [https://freelancehunt.com/project/prestashop-1-7-pokraschiti-largest-contentful/1415627.html rattan,wicker chair dining room,wicker chairs dining,dining rattan furniture,rattan armchair dining,woven dining room chairs,wicker dining chairs,dining room chair rattan,woven dining chair] page - as well as all others - will now get a speedier page load, sharper images optimised for their device, and smoother overall performance.
