# Speed Optimization

The new **Speed Up** feature helps boost your store performance with just **1 click**.\
By optimizing your store speed, you can improve user experience, reduce loading time, and potentially improve conversion rates.

Depending on your current plan, the app can automatically apply advanced optimizations including: Minify CSS, Minify JS, Lazy-loading Images, etc...

### How to Optimize Your Store Speed

#### Step 1: Go to Optimize Speed

Navigate to: **Site Speed → Optimize Speed.** Then click the **Optimize Now** button.

#### Step 2: Choose Your Optimization Method

You will see 2 options:

* **Duplicate current theme and optimize**
* **Select existing theme**

You can optimize your current live theme directly. However, we strongly recommend duplicating the theme first so you can safely test how the optimization works on the copied version before publishing it live.

This helps minimize unexpected issues and is the safest approach.

#### Step 3: Duplicate Your Theme (Recommended)

Select the option: **Duplicate current theme and optimize,** and it leads you to the Online Store page. Let's click here to duplicate your current live theme.

After that, return to the previous app tab and click **Optimize Now** again.

The app will automatically activate all available optimization options to help improve your store speed.

## Important Note About Speed Score

The optimization actions take effect immediately after activation.

However, please note that Google may take up to **7 days** to recalculate and update your speed score.

So if you do not see the score increase right away, there is no need to worry.

If your score still does not change after 7 days, please contact our support team and we will help check it for you.
