Web fonts are causing 860ms delay in content visibility, hurting both FCP and user experience.
Add font-display: swap to your Divi theme's font CSS declarations in the theme customizer. Consider using system fonts as fallbacks to reduce layout shift. Preload critical font files (modules.woff and fa-brands-400.woff2) using WordPress wp_enqueue_script with preload.
A score of 90 falls in the "Good" 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.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site performs well overall with a strong score of 90/100, but has some critical rendering issues that are hurting user experience. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS files that are delaying the First Contentful Paint by nearly a second (930ms), particularly from LiteSpeed cache optimization files and carousel stylesheets that should be deferred or inlined. Additionally, the site is loading 31KB of unused CSS (70% waste) and could save significant bandwidth by converting images to modern WebP/AVIF formats, which would reduce image sizes by over 100KB. Addressing these CSS blocking issues and implementing proper image optimization could make the page feel much faster to users, especially on mobile connections.
Why It Matters:
CSS files are blocking First Contentful Paint by 950ms, significantly delaying when users see content.
How to Fix:
Use LiteSpeed Cache's CSS optimization to inline critical CSS and defer non-critical styles. Remove unused CSS rules (31KB waste detected) through the plugin's CSS minification settings. Consider moving Slick carousel CSS to load only on pages that use carousels.
Why It Matters:
PNG images are 114KB larger than necessary, slowing down page load without improving visual quality.
How to Fix:
Install ShortPixel or Imagify plugin to automatically convert existing PNG images to WebP format. Enable automatic WebP conversion for future uploads. Set up fallback support for older browsers through the plugin's compatibility settings.
