Will the app slow down my store?

FAQ All plans 1 min read

Short answer

No. The menu loads without blocking your page and only loads the files your menu actually uses.

How the menu stays fast

• Non-blocking loading — the menu script loads asynchronously and submenu styles don’t block the page.
• Only what you use — icon fonts load only if your menu uses icons, and the bottom bar’s files load only when you have a bottom bar.
• Lazy-loaded images — with Settings > Advanced > Enable lazyload image turned on, menu images load only when needed.
• No flicker — your theme’s original menu is hidden while the new menu loads, so shoppers don’t see the old menu flash.

Keep it light

• Keep Enable lazyload image on.
• Use images in a sensible size.
• Avoid putting many heavy embeds (videos, maps) in one menu.

Accessibility

Shoppers can open submenus and move between items with the keyboard, focused items show a clear outline, and menu items and submenus are labeled for screen readers.
