Add preload tag for the hero banner image in WordPress header.php: <link rel='preload' as='image' href='/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/home-banner-pic-1.webp'>. Optimize the image further and ensure it's above-the-fold without lazy loading. Consider using fetchpriority='high' on the hero image.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 60/100, indicating significant user experience issues. The biggest problem is extremely slow loading times, with your Largest Contentful Paint taking 8.3 seconds - far beyond Google's recommended 2.5 seconds. The primary culprits are render-blocking CSS files (especially from Elementor and Font Awesome) that delay initial page rendering by over 2 seconds, plus massive amounts of unused CSS and JavaScript that waste 194 KB of bandwidth. Removing unused code, deferring non-critical CSS, and optimizing your Elementor configuration could dramatically improve loading speeds and boost your performance score by 30+ points.
Why It Matters:
Render-blocking CSS is delaying page rendering by 2.3 seconds and preventing fast LCP.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content. Defer loading of Font Awesome CSS (25KB unused) and other non-critical stylesheets. Move Elementor CSS files to load asynchronously using loadCSS technique.
Why It Matters:
169KB of unused JavaScript and 25KB of unused CSS are unnecessarily slowing down LCP by 1.2 seconds.
How to Fix:
Remove or defer Google Tag Manager scripts until after page load using gtag delay plugin. Eliminate 99% unused Font Awesome CSS by switching to selective icon loading in Elementor settings. Use Asset CleanUp plugin to disable unused scripts per page.
