### What is HyperSpeed?

If your store runs a lot of apps or has custom code, there's probably a pile of JavaScript loading on every page. Most of it has nothing to do with what customers actually see — it's for analytics, integrations, background tasks, and so on.

HyperSpeed sorts the scripts: anything tied to visible content goes first, everything else waits. The result? Customers see your page much faster, even on heavy stores.

This is especially powerful if you have several apps installed.

### Why use HyperSpeed?

* **Faster visible content** — prioritizes the scripts that render what customers see and defers the rest.
* **Built for heavy stores** — the more apps and custom code you run, the bigger the gain.
* **Better Core Web Vitals** — cuts the JavaScript blocking your page from appearing quickly.
* **No loss of functionality** — deferred scripts still run; they just load after visible content.

### ⚙️ How to use HyperSpeed

#### Step 1: Open Self-optimize

### 📌 Merchant Notes

* Always click **Speed up now** after turning this on to apply the changes.
* HyperSpeed delivers the biggest gains on stores with **several apps installed** or heavy custom JavaScript.
* Deferred scripts still run normally — they just load after your visible content.
* This feature requires the **Expert** plan.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.appplaza.app/speed-optimizer/speed-up/hyperspeed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
