Compress and Resize Hero Image
High Impact+8 points estimated
Why It Matters
The header logo is 51KB larger than needed and wastes bandwidth while potentially delaying LCP.
How to Fix
Install ShortPixel or Imagify WordPress plugin to automatically compress images. Resize the logo to its display dimensions (245x116) instead of serving 980x463. Generate responsive image sizes in WordPress Media Settings to serve appropriately sized images for different devices.

AI Performance Analysis
This WordPress site has decent performance with a score of 80/100, but there are notable user experience issues. The biggest problem is layout shifting (CLS score of 0.139) caused by web fonts loading late, which makes content jump around as users try to read the page. The site also loads slowly with both First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint taking 3.3 seconds, primarily due to heavy font dependencies and unused code. Quick wins include optimizing the oversized logo image (currently 4x larger than needed), removing 72KB of unused JavaScript, and implementing proper font loading strategies to prevent layout shifts.
Other Optimization Recommendations
Optimize Web Font Loading Strategy
High Impact+12 points estimatedWhy It Matters:
Web fonts cause significant layout shifts (CLS: 0.139) and delay content rendering, directly impacting user experience.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your Divi theme CSS. Preload critical font files (Montserrat and Crimson Text) using <link rel='preload'> in your WordPress header. Consider using a plugin like OMGF to host Google Fonts locally and reduce external requests.
Remove Unused Divi CSS and JavaScript
Medium Impact+6 points estimatedWhy It Matters:
52KB of unused CSS and 74KB of unused JavaScript increase page weight and slow down parsing without providing value.
How to Fix:
Enable Divi's Dynamic CSS & JS feature in Theme Options to load only required styles per page. Use Asset CleanUp plugin to disable unused Divi modules and features. Consider switching from Divi's bundled scripts.min.js to individual module loading for better performance.
