Prestashop Speed & Core Vitals Optimization

I'm currently experiencing a significant slowdown on my Prestashop website, specifically with sluggish page loads and a considerable server response time. This slowdown can primarily be attributed to the change of a recent change of template Clasci to a customized theme, the developer of the theme told me that I would need an expert to help me identify the bottlenecks in my server and improve the setup

I'm in need of a Prestashop expert who can not only tackle these speed issues but also work on optimizing core vitals of my website. The freelancer should have a well-rounded understanding of the Prestashop platform and an expertise in dealing with large product catalogues. I'm also unsure of whether any caching mechanisms have been implemented on my website, so the freelancer should be capable of identifying and enhancing any such features.

Ideal Skills:

- Advanced knowledge of Prestashop, including its framework, themes, and modules
- Experience in improving web page load speed and server response time
- Ability to handle websites with large product catalogs
- Proficiency in dealing with third-party integrations
- Expertise in caching mechanisms for website speed optimization.
