How to optimize pearsoncars.com
Blocking CSS and JavaScript delays First Contentful Paint by 3.6 seconds.
In your Rails application layout, move non-critical CSS to load asynchronously using media='print' onload="this.media='all'". Defer the 97KB JavaScript bundle using defer attribute. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in the HTML head.
A score of 10 falls in the "Poor" 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 Ruby on Rails site has critical performance issues with a score of just 10/100. The biggest problem is render-blocking resources (CSS and JavaScript files) that are preventing the page from loading quickly, delaying First Contentful Paint by 3.6 seconds and causing a massive 20-second Largest Contentful Paint. The site also suffers from severe layout shifts (1.03 CLS score) primarily caused by unsized images that jump around as they load. Deferring non-critical JavaScript, optimizing or removing unused CSS/JS (474KB of unused CSS alone), and adding proper dimensions to images could dramatically improve load times and user experience by several seconds.
Why It Matters:
Layout shifts score of 1.03 severely impacts user experience and Core Web Vitals.
How to Fix:
Add explicit width='382' height='215' attributes to the unsized video thumbnail image. Set dimensions for the Suzuki logo in header. Use CSS aspect-ratio or min-height to reserve space for dynamically loaded content sections.
Why It Matters:
2.2MB of unused JavaScript and 485KB unused CSS waste bandwidth and slow parsing.
How to Fix:
Use Rails' asset pipeline to tree-shake unused code from your minified bundles. Split vendor libraries from application code using Webpack code splitting. Remove unused FontAwesome icons and keep only required weights.
