How does the number of images impact website loading speed?

  • This Article is for stores running on Solo plan or higher

The number of images directly affects your website’s loading speed, especially on slower networks or mobile devices. Here's how:

Increased Page Weight:
  • Each image adds to the total file size the browser has to download.
  • For example, 10 images at 300KB each = 3MB total.
More HTTP Requests:
  • Every image is a separate request to the server.
  • More requests = more time to render the page.
Browser Rendering Delays:
  • Too many images can delay the browser’s ability to display the rest of the page content.

Note: Image Load Time is the average time it takes to load an image
