Fix Font Loading Layout Shifts

High Impact+8 points estimated

Why It Matters

Web fonts are causing 0.149 CLS score by shifting text content during load, directly impacting Core Web Vitals.

How to Fix

Add font-display: swap to Google Fonts URLs in your Divi theme. Preload critical fonts (Montserrat, Crimson Text) using <link rel='preload'> tags. Use fallback fonts with similar metrics to minimize shift impact.

AI Performance Analysis

This WordPress site has good performance with a score of 82/100, but layout shifts are the biggest issue hurting user experience. The page experiences 4 layout shifts primarily caused by web fonts loading (Montserrat and Crimson Text), which causes text and content to jump around as the page loads. Additionally, the site is loading 52 KB of unused CSS and 72 KB of unused JavaScript from the Divi theme, which creates unnecessary overhead. Implementing font-display: swap for web fonts and removing unused CSS/JavaScript could eliminate the layout shifts and further improve the already solid performance score.

Other Optimization Recommendations

Remove Unused CSS and JavaScript

High Impact+12 points estimated

Why It Matters:

84% of CSS (53 KiB) and 66% of JavaScript (74 KiB) are unused, slowing down initial page rendering.

Use Asset CleanUp Pro to disable unused Divi modules on this page. Remove unnecessary Divi scripts like sticky-elements.js if not needed. Enable CSS/JS minification and combine files through Divi optimization settings.

Optimize Logo Image Size

Medium Impact+3 points estimated

Why It Matters:

Header logo is 21 KiB larger than needed, wasting bandwidth and potentially delaying LCP.

How to Fix:
