We’re not qualified to offer you marriage counseling, tennis pointers, or tips on beating your high score in Tetris.

For any Shop issues, queries, or catastrophes, the Spreadshop Help Center is your first stop.

So you’ve integrated your Spreadshop into a website. However, despite sound marketing efforts, your sales haven’t improved. This may be due to your website’s performance! Big graphics files and clunky images slow down your website, which in turn leads to an unfavorable shopping experience.

We’ll show you how to optimise your pictures for your website. It’s easy and free of charge.

1. Testing your website performance with GTMetrix

We recommend that you use GTMetrix’ free test. Just go to https://gtmetrix.com/, enter the URL of your website and start the test by clicking “analyze”.

Most of the information you’ll see may be difficult for website noobs to understand. However, the following functions can make a huge difference for anyone.

2. Downloading compressed images from GTMetrix

You’ll find a few handy recommendations in the tab “Optimise Images”. GTMetrix usually determines that images that can be used in a lower resolution. Best of all: GTMetrix renders those images for you in an optimised size!

By creating unique quizzes and promoting them on your homepage or social media, you can vicariously guide customers to making a purchase! When opting for one of Riddle.com’s quizzes, you won’t only be keeping visitors engaged. Rather, you can also generate more leads, which could then translate into sales.

To get to know your audience better, you can choose from 12 different quiz types, including ranked polls, quizzes, and interactive stories. When a customer completes a quiz, you can show them a lead form that requests their name, age, and email. Then, Riddle.com lets you automatically send follow-up emails to those respondents, allowing you to better highlight your Spreadshop offerings.

These quizzes can also help with forming ideas for designs and marketing strategies. They’re quick and easy to create, and after you’ve published them to social media, you can continue to track their progress!

Of course, there are a number of additional benefits when it comes to adding a quiz to your website:

• Grow your audience: quizzes have proven to be the most-shared viral content
• Engagement: visitors stay on a site 37% longer when they take a quiz
• Opportunity for contests: you can offer discounts to those who successfully complete the quiz
• Social Media compatibility: even if you don’t have a website, you can get in on the fun. Quizzes are just as effective on social media pages as they are on websites!

Best of all, if you sign up now, you can save! Normally, a monthly subscription costs $15 (and can be cancelled at anytime). However, if you use code SPREADSHIRT30-1ZDDFK at checkout, you can save 30% on their basic monthly plan or annual plan.
