How to optimize grwsolar.co.uk
CSS files block initial render and delay LCP by 300ms with 89% unused styles.
Extract critical CSS for above-the-fold content using Next.js built-in CSS optimization. Move non-critical styles to load asynchronously with next/dynamic imports. Remove unused CSS from the 32KB stylesheet using PurgeCSS in your Next.js build process.
A score of 53 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.

This Next.js website has poor performance with a score of 53/100, indicating significant user experience issues. The biggest problem is excessive JavaScript that takes 1.7 seconds to execute and includes 456 KiB of unused code, which is severely delaying the Largest Contentful Paint (7.4 seconds) and making the site unresponsive for over 11 seconds. The site is also loading unnecessary CSS (28 KiB unused) and render-blocking stylesheets that could save 300ms if optimized. Reducing JavaScript bundle sizes, removing unused code, and deferring non-critical resources would dramatically improve loading speeds and user experience.
Why It Matters:
456 KiB of unused JavaScript delays LCP by 950ms and blocks user interactions for 770ms.
How to Fix:
Configure Next.js code splitting by moving large dependencies to dynamic imports using next/dynamic. Analyze bundle with @next/bundle-analyzer to identify oversized chunks. Remove unused Google Analytics features and use gtag4 selective loading instead of full GTM.
Why It Matters:
The main hero image wastes 47KB and could improve perceived load performance.
How to Fix:
Reduce Next.js Image component quality from 75 to 60 for non-critical images. Use next-optimized-images plugin for automatic WebP compression. Implement responsive images with proper srcSet sizes for the hero banner.
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.
