The LCP image lacks priority hints, delaying critical content discovery.
Add fetchpriority='high' to your hero banner image at 'https://myworks.software/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/home-banner-pic-1.webp'. In your WordPress theme, modify the img tag or use a plugin like RankMath to add the attribute automatically.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has concerning performance issues with a score of 72/100. The biggest problem is oversized images in your carousel that are wasting 315 KB of data - these images are uploaded at 1080x1350 pixels but only displayed at 380x475, forcing users to download unnecessarily large files that slow your page loading by nearly half a second. Additionally, your site is loading too much unused JavaScript and CSS (particularly from Google Analytics and Font Awesome), and your Largest Contentful Paint takes a sluggish 5.0 seconds when it should be under 2.5 seconds. Resizing your carousel images to match their display dimensions and cleaning up unused code could easily improve your score by 15-20 points and make your site feel much faster to visitors.
Why It Matters:
Images are 315KB larger than needed, causing a 450ms delay in LCP.
How to Fix:
Generate responsive image sizes for your carousel images (currently 1080x1350 but displayed at 380x475). Use WordPress functions like add_image_size() to create properly sized versions. Update your theme to serve the correct size using srcset attributes.
Why It Matters:
CSS files block initial page rendering, delaying FCP by 2.2 seconds.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to inline critical CSS and defer non-critical stylesheets. Move theme CSS loading to be non-blocking by adding media='print' onload='this.media="all"' attributes. Consider combining multiple small CSS files into one request.
