Unused JavaScript from Google AdSense is wasting 199 KiB and delaying LCP by 900ms.
Review your Google AdSense implementation and remove unused ad units. Use the AdSense Auto ads feature instead of manual placements to reduce JavaScript overhead. Consider implementing lazy loading for ads using a plugin like Advanced Ads to defer loading until needed.

This WordPress site shows good performance with a score of 89/100, but there are still meaningful optimization opportunities. The biggest issue is excessive unused JavaScript from Google AdSense scripts, which is wasting 199 KiB and slowing down page loading by 900 milliseconds. Additionally, render-blocking CSS files are delaying the initial page display by 660 milliseconds, and your Largest Contentful Paint takes 3.1 seconds to load. Cleaning up unused JavaScript, optimizing CSS delivery, and improving image formats could push your score closer to perfect while making the site feel noticeably faster for users.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS files are blocking initial page render and delaying FCP by 650ms.
How to Fix:
Install a WordPress optimization plugin like WP Rocket or Autoptimize. Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content. Defer non-critical LearnDash CSS files that aren't needed on every page using conditional loading based on page type.
Why It Matters:
The main hero image could save 9.7 KiB by using modern formats, improving perceived load time.
How to Fix:
Convert the hero image to WebP format using a plugin like ShortPixel or WebP Converter. Ensure the image has proper width/height attributes to prevent layout shift. Consider using AVIF format for even better compression on supported browsers.
