How do I optimize discount widgets for page speed?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling with implementing discount widgets that look great but don't compromise my website's loading speed. Page performance is critical for conversion rates, and I've noticed that many discount apps significantly slow down my Shopify store. I need a comprehensive strategy to create visually appealing, high-converting discount widgets that maintain lightning-fast page load times and provide a seamless user experience across desktop and mobile platforms.
