How to optimize theathletesfoot.com.au
Unused code is wasting 265 KiB of bandwidth and slowing down page processing.
Remove or defer the unused Google reCAPTCHA JavaScript (200KB waste) until actually needed for form submission. Strip unused CSS rules from the main stylesheet, particularly the 95% unused reCAPTCHA styles and 75% unused main CSS. Use code splitting to load components only when required.
A score of 73 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.
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
This website has moderate performance issues with a score of 73/100, but there are significant opportunities for improvement. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS files that are delaying your page's initial display by nearly 1.5 seconds, directly impacting both First Contentful Paint (2.7s) and Largest Contentful Paint (6.0s). The site is also loading 70KB of unused CSS code and has poorly compressed images that could save an additional 178KB. Fixing these render-blocking resources and optimizing images could easily improve your performance score by 15-20 points and dramatically speed up page loading for users.
Why It Matters:
CSS files are blocking initial page render and delaying LCP by 1.45 seconds.
How to Fix:
Move non-critical CSS files like ArticleCard and Carousel components to load asynchronously using media='print' onload technique. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in the HTML head. Defer the fb_lightbox.css campaign file since it's not needed for initial render.
Why It Matters:
Large banner images are delaying LCP by 1.05 seconds and consuming 178 KiB unnecessarily.
How to Fix:
Increase compression on the Brooks Glycerin and Gel Nimbus banner images to reduce their size by ~100KB and 77KB respectively. Implement responsive images with proper srcset attributes. Add explicit width and height attributes to prevent layout shifts during image loading.
Once your site is optimized, maintain that speed. Use DeployHQ for zero-downtime, automated deployments—so performance fixes and updates go live safely every time, without breaking your site.

CSS files block initial page render for 900ms, significantly delaying First Contentful Paint.
Large unoptimized images waste 7,474 KiB and delay LCP by 450ms with poor user experience.
2,710 KiB of unused JavaScript is blocking rendering and delaying LCP by 14 seconds.
Missing width/height attributes cause layout shifts and zero cache lifetime forces unnecessary re-downloads on repeat visits.
