How to optimize patrickboehner.com
Images waste 293KB through poor compression and oversized dimensions, impacting load performance.
Implement responsive images with proper srcset attributes matching display dimensions (e.g., serve 441×718px instead of 700×1139px for mobile). Use WordPress plugins like ShortPixel or Smush to automatically compress WebP images further. Add CSS to ensure images scale properly: img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }.
A score of 99 falls in the "Good" 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.
This site is slower than approximately 35% of similar sites. The main issues affecting performance are image optimization, JavaScript execution time, and layout stability.
Addressing these issues could improve your conversion rate by 15-20% and boost your search engine rankings.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
Your website has excellent performance with an outstanding score of 99/100, indicating a very well-optimized site. However, there are still some minor opportunities for improvement, with the biggest issue being render-blocking CSS files that are delaying your page's initial display by an estimated 750 milliseconds. You could also save about 293 KB by better compressing and properly sizing your images - particularly the vineyard and winery photos that are being served larger than their displayed dimensions. Additionally, removing unused CSS (especially from WordPress block library styles) could reduce your page size by 14 KB. These optimizations would help achieve a perfect performance score and ensure lightning-fast loading for all users.
Why It Matters:
Render blocking CSS delays LCP and FCP by 750ms, preventing critical content from displaying quickly.
How to Fix:
Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content directly in the HTML. Move non-critical stylesheets like block-library/style.min.css to load asynchronously using media='print' onload='this.media="all"'. Use WordPress plugins like Autoptimize or WP Rocket to automate critical CSS extraction.
Why It Matters:
WordPress block library CSS contains 96% unused rules, wasting 14KB of bandwidth unnecessarily.
How to Fix:
Use Asset CleanUp or Perfmatters plugin to disable WordPress block editor styles if not using Gutenberg blocks. Implement PurgeCSS or UnCSS to automatically remove unused CSS rules. Consider loading block styles conditionally only on pages that use specific blocks.
