Shopify Website Speed Optimization

I am looking for a freelancer who can help me optimize the loading speed of my Shopify website. Currently, the website takes more than 5 seconds to load, and I am concerned about the impact on user experience and search engine rankings. Specifically, I am looking for someone who can address the issue of slow loading images and media on the website. I have not implemented any speed optimization techniques before, so I am looking for someone who has experience in this area and can provide effective solutions. Ideal skills and experience for the job include:

- Shopify development and optimization
- Expertise in image and media optimization
- Knowledge of speed optimization techniques and tools
- Experience with third-party apps and plugins that can impact website speed
- Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with me and my team.
