How to optimize armycadets.com
164 KiB of unused JavaScript delays LCP by 300ms and blocks user interactions.
Audit and remove the unused xky8 script (74KB) and defer Google Analytics until after page load. Use code splitting to load jQuery only when needed. Consider removing or replacing heavy third-party scripts with lighter alternatives.
A score of 85 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 website has good performance with a score of 85/100, but there's significant room for improvement in loading speed. The biggest issue is excessive unused JavaScript (164 KiB), which is delaying the Largest Contentful Paint to 4.0 seconds and making the site fully interactive only after 4.9 seconds. The site is also suffering from forced reflows that cause layout shifts and has 40 KiB of unused CSS that could be removed. Cleaning up the JavaScript, removing unused code, and optimizing the remaining CSS could easily push this site into the 90+ performance range and provide a noticeably faster user experience.
Why It Matters:
Forced reflows cause 40ms of blocking time that prevents smooth user interactions.
How to Fix:
Identify JavaScript code that reads layout properties after DOM changes. Batch DOM reads and writes separately to avoid triggering multiple reflows. Use CSS transforms instead of changing layout properties when possible.
Why It Matters:
40 KiB of unused CSS from TypeKit fonts delays rendering and wastes bandwidth.
How to Fix:
Review TypeKit font usage and remove unused font weights/styles from your Adobe Fonts project. Add font-display: swap to prevent invisible text during font load. Consider self-hosting critical fonts to reduce network dependency chains.
