How to optimize housewashingexperts.com.au
Large PNG images are wasting 114KB of bandwidth and slowing down the page load unnecessarily.
Enable WebP conversion in LiteSpeed Cache under Media Optimization settings. Set image quality to 85-90% for optimal balance. Add lazy loading for the flip-box images since they're below the fold. Consider resizing the 100KB+ images to appropriate dimensions for mobile viewing.
A score of 71 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 WordPress site has concerning performance issues with a score of 71/100, primarily due to extremely slow loading times. The biggest problem is the Largest Contentful Paint taking 5.2 seconds, which is more than double Google's recommended threshold and severely impacts user experience. The main culprits are font loading issues that could save 1.2 seconds, render-blocking CSS files delaying initial page display by over 1 second, and unoptimized images wasting 112KB of bandwidth. Fixing the font display settings, deferring non-critical CSS, and converting images to modern WebP format could potentially improve the performance score by 15-20 points and provide a much faster user experience.
Why It Matters:
Font loading is blocking render and delaying First Contentful Paint by 1,240ms, severely impacting user experience.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your Divi theme. Install a plugin like OMGF (Optimize My Google Fonts) to host fonts locally and add font-display automatically. Consider removing unused FontAwesome icons or loading only required icon subsets.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS files are blocking page render for over 1 second, preventing users from seeing content quickly.
How to Fix:
Use LiteSpeed Cache's Critical CSS feature to inline above-the-fold styles. Defer non-critical CSS like Slick Carousel styles using the plugin's CSS optimization settings. Enable 'Load CSS Asynchronously' option in LiteSpeed Cache configuration.
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.
