Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This website has a moderate performance score of 73/100, but suffers from serious loading speed issues that hurt user experience. The biggest problem is excessive unused JavaScript (422 KiB of wasted code), which is causing the page to take over 8 seconds to become fully interactive and display its main content - far longer than the recommended 2.5 seconds. The site is also loading 43 KiB of unused CSS styles, primarily from font files that aren't being fully utilized. To improve performance, the site should remove or defer unused JavaScript code, clean up unnecessary CSS, and add proper width/height attributes to images to prevent layout shifts during loading.
Why It Matters:
422 KiB of unused JavaScript is blocking LCP by 2.4 seconds and preventing user interactions.
How to Fix:
Remove or defer Google Translate widget if not essential. Use code splitting for social share functionality to load only when needed. Replace heavy GTM scripts with lighter tracking alternatives or defer until after page load.
Why It Matters:
Missing width and height on images causes layout shifts and degrades user experience.
How to Fix:
Add explicit width='130' height='37' attributes to the header logo image. Update WordPress theme templates to include dimensions for all images. Use aspect-ratio CSS property as fallback for responsive images.
