I know that age speed is critical for eCommerce sites. How can I improve loading times and keep customers from bouncing? Should I prioritize image compression, use a CDN, or optimize my hosting setup?

According to the research, if it takes more than 10 seconds to loan the page, people will just abandon the page and go elsewhere. Therefore, generating sales on a slow loading ecommerce website can be difficult. You need to choose a hosting that offer unlimited bandwith and a huge diskspace. You also need to use responsive design and try to limit your web page size to less than 3.5 MB.
More than 2 seconds and you're losing traffic and can get bad rankings.
After years of trying all kinds of options (usually 2-3 plugins to do the work), I am now using WP Rocket. It's a premium account, but it does most of the job OK. Of course, you need to be careful with how you handle javascript settings (as it can mess up forms and designs), but overall it's a decent plugin.

Since customers have a lot of options, they do not have time to wait for your website to load fully.Limiting plugin usage, limiting media usage, optimizing images, using light weight themes etc. can contribute to faster speed. By the way I have never heard of WP Rocket, and I would like to know more about it.
The first thing is not to load gadgets, ads or anything like that, that makes your website work slower, the second is that if it continues happening go to an expert who can help you with this, because it is rare that it happens, it never happened to me but I have entered other websites that do happen and it is very unbearable to have to use a slow website, it frustrates you and tires you and forces you to go to another one

Many people often overlook the fact that placing too many advertisement on your website can also slow down the speed of your website. Having said that, adding or embedding advertisement on your website is essential. However, you must never embed too many ads. Having a significant amount of banner ads is fine as long as it does not interfere with the website speed. There are many online testers that could be used to test the loading speed of the webpages of your website.
Yes, definitely, and don't even mention when they put up those annoying popads, all to "earn more money" but it's the complete opposite, you generate less money, because absolutely nobody likes popads, every time I enter a website if it has popads I use some adblocker, because also those damn popads usually have viruses because they download files without your consent, so they lose in all cases, in addition to users and also the website definitely slows down quite a bit.
Improve your eCommerce website speed by optimizing images, using a reliable hosting service, enabling caching, minimizing code (CSS, JavaScript), and leveraging Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Fast loading boosts user experience and helps improve your search engine rankings.
