PrestaShop is a powerful open-source platform, but it can be prone to "bloat" if you install too many heavy modules. If you need to show technical manuals, size guides, or brand brochures, installing a dedicated PDF viewer module is often a mistake. These modules add extra JavaScript to your frontend, tanking your PageSpeed scores and hurting your SEO.
The smarter, more modern approach is to offload the document rendering to a cloud service.
