Reduce JavaScript Execution Time
High Impact+12 points estimated
Why It Matters
JavaScript execution takes 5.1 seconds blocking the main thread and preventing user interactions.
How to Fix
Defer reCAPTCHA loading until user interaction with contact forms. Remove or replace heavy third-party scripts from ClickCease and CallTrack with lighter alternatives. Minify custom JavaScript files (slick.js, main.js) to save 9KB and improve parsing time.

AI Performance Analysis
This website has poor performance with a score of 52/100, indicating significant issues that affect user experience. The biggest problem is massive layout shifts (3 found) that cause content to jump around as the page loads, particularly from the home banner section and web fonts loading late. Additionally, the site is severely slowed down by render-blocking CSS files that delay page rendering by 1.7 seconds and an extremely slow Time to Interactive of 30.2 seconds due to heavy JavaScript processing. Immediate fixes should include optimizing CSS delivery, reducing unused JavaScript (1.7MB can be eliminated), and addressing the layout shift issues by properly sizing elements and optimizing font loading.
Other Optimization Recommendations
Fix Critical Layout Shifts
High Impact+15 points estimatedWhy It Matters:
Layout shifts score 0.162 causing poor user experience as elements move during page load.
How to Fix:
Add explicit dimensions to the home-page-banner ::after pseudo-element causing the largest shift (0.161 score). Preload critical web fonts (Athelas-Bold.woff2, Athelas-Regular.woff2) using <link rel='preload'> to prevent font-swap layout shifts. Set font-display: swap in CSS for better loading behavior.
Remove Render-Blocking Resources
High Impact+18 points estimatedWhy It Matters:
CSS files are blocking initial page render and delaying LCP by 1.75 seconds.
How to Fix:
Defer non-critical CSS like dashicons.min.css (35KB, 100% unused) and animate.min.css until after page load. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS from main.css directly in HTML head. Use WordPress plugins like Autoptimize to automatically optimize CSS delivery and remove unused code.
