How to optimize about.grumpy.uk
CSS and Google Fonts are blocking initial render for 3.04 seconds, delaying FCP.
Inline critical CSS styles directly in the HTML head. Use font-display: swap for Google Fonts to prevent render blocking. Consider using system fonts or preloading only essential font variants to reduce the font chain dependency.
A score of 68 falls in the "Needs Improvement" range (50-89). While it is better than poor (0-49), you should aim for 90+ to provide an optimal user experience and maximize SEO benefits.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This website has poor performance issues with a score of 68/100, indicating significant room for improvement. The biggest problem is massive image optimization issues that are delaying the Largest Contentful Paint to 6.6 seconds - a portrait photo alone could save 598 KB by converting to modern formats like WebP and properly sizing it for display. Additionally, render-blocking CSS and font requests are preventing the page from painting content quickly, adding over 3 seconds to the First Contentful Paint. Optimizing these images and deferring non-critical CSS could improve the performance score by 25+ points and dramatically enhance user experience, especially on mobile devices.
Why It Matters:
Images are wasting 598 KiB and causing a 3.15 second LCP delay.
How to Fix:
Convert photo.png (518 KiB) to WebP format to save 464 KiB. Resize the portrait image from 571x569 to its display size of 298x298. Use an image optimization service like Squoosh or ImageOptim to compress the logo.png file.
Why It Matters:
The LCP element is not immediately discoverable, preventing early resource loading.
How to Fix:
Add fetchpriority='high' attribute to the portrait image since it's the LCP element. Ensure the image src is directly in HTML rather than loaded via JavaScript. Consider moving the image higher in the DOM structure for faster discovery.
