How to optimize myworks.software
34 render-blocking stylesheets delay first paint by 3.5 seconds, significantly hurting user experience.
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in HTML. Load Font Awesome and other icon libraries only when needed using conditional loading in Elementor.
A score of 59 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 WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 59/100. The biggest problem is excessive unused JavaScript from Google Tag Manager and tracking scripts, which is wasting 178 KiB and delaying your Largest Contentful Paint by over 1 second. Your site takes 9.2 seconds for the main content to load, primarily due to render-blocking CSS files and a massive network dependency chain with 3.5 seconds of critical resource delays. Removing unused JavaScript, deferring non-critical CSS, and optimizing the FontAwesome library (which is 99% unused) could improve your score by 30+ points and dramatically speed up the user experience.
Why It Matters:
Google Analytics and tracking scripts waste 178 KiB and delay LCP by 1.05 seconds.
How to Fix:
Use Google Tag Manager's built-in script optimization. Enable 'Enhanced Measurement' in Google Analytics 4 to reduce script size. Consider moving tracking scripts to load after page interactive using WordPress plugins like WP Rocket or Flying Scripts.
Why It Matters:
Your hero image is not discoverable in HTML, preventing browser from loading it early.
How to Fix:
Add fetchpriority='high' to your hero banner image in Elementor widget settings. Ensure the image src attribute is directly in HTML, not loaded via JavaScript. Remove any lazy loading from above-the-fold images and add explicit width/height attributes.
