How can I optimize Square-powered eCommerce on my Weebly site for a visually extensive restaurant me

[Umar1278]

I manage a restaurant website built on Weebly and powered by Square for eCommerce. The site showcases an extensive ranchers menu islamabad with a lot of high-quality images and detailed descriptions. However, I'm experiencing the following issues:

1. Slow Loading Time: The page takes longer to load due to the number of images and the menu's length, which might be affecting user experience.
2. Limited Customization: I’d like to enhance the design to make the menu more interactive (e.g., filtering dishes by category or ingredients) while keeping it optimized for mobile users.
3. Order Management: Syncing orders and updating inventory through Square has been inconsistent, especially during peak hours.
4. User Navigation: Customers have mentioned that scrolling through the menu on mobile devices feels cumbersome, and they’d prefer a more dynamic way to browse.

I’d appreciate guidance on how to:

• Improve loading speeds without compromising image quality.
• Integrate advanced customization options for filtering or searching menu items.
• Ensure seamless syncing of orders and inventory between Square and my site.
• Optimize the design and navigation for a better user experience on mobile.

Any insights, tools, or best practices for Square and Weebly integration specific to restaurant eCommerce would be incredibly helpful!

To address your issues:

1. Loading Speeds: Use optimized image formats like WebP, compress images with tools like TinyPNG, and enable lazy loading in Weebly to reduce initial load times.
2. Customization: Consider using a third-party plugin or custom code to add filtering/search options. Square’s API might also help with dynamic menu features.
3. Order Syncing: Ensure your Square and Weebly integrations are updated to the latest versions. If issues persist, reach out to Square support to troubleshoot syncing during peak hours.
4. Mobile Navigation: Use collapsible menu sections or category tabs to simplify scrolling. Testing different layouts on mobile devices, either Android or iOS can also improve user experience.
