This WordPress site has severe performance issues with a score of 45/100. The biggest problem is an extremely slow First Contentful Paint of 7.9 seconds and Largest Contentful Paint of 18.9 seconds, primarily caused by excessive unused JavaScript (498 KiB) and CSS (25 KiB) that's blocking the page from rendering quickly. The site is also loading too many plugins and heavy scripts from Elementor, FontAwesome, and various other WordPress plugins that execute for 1.6 seconds, creating a sluggish user experience. Removing unused code, optimizing images, and reducing the number of plugins could improve the score by 30+ points and dramatically speed up page loading.
Why It Matters:
498 KiB of unused JavaScript is significantly slowing LCP by 2.7 seconds.
How to Fix:
Remove unused plugins and scripts through WP Asset CleanUp. Defer HubSpot chat widget and Google Analytics until user interaction. Enable JavaScript optimization in your caching plugin to remove dead code from Elementor and third-party scripts.
Why It Matters:
Hero image is oversized and causing layout shifts, directly impacting LCP performance.
How to Fix:
Use WordPress responsive images by adding proper srcset attributes to your theme. Install ShortPixel to automatically generate correctly-sized WebP images. Add explicit width/height attributes to prevent CLS in your Elementor image widgets.
