Missing width/height on partner logo images causes layout shifts affecting CLS score.
Edit the partner logo slider template to add explicit width='120' height='22' attributes to all partner SVG images. Update the Slick slider configuration to maintain aspect ratios. Test layout stability after implementation.

This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 65/100. The biggest problem is an extremely oversized hero image that takes 12.1 seconds to load and could be reduced by over 4MB through better compression and responsive sizing. The site also suffers from render-blocking JavaScript (jQuery) that delays initial page rendering by 1.3 seconds, and it takes 13.4 seconds before users can fully interact with the page. Optimizing the main image alone could improve load times by nearly a second, while deferring non-critical JavaScript could provide additional significant improvements to user experience.
Why It Matters:
The hero image is 2.7MB and delays LCP by 12.1 seconds, severely impacting user experience.
How to Fix:
Compress the hero image using TinyPNG or ShortPixel to reduce size by 67%. Resize from 2305x2304 to actual display size of 1282x721. Add fetchpriority='high' attribute (already present but ensure compression is applied).
Why It Matters:
jQuery and CSS files block initial page render, delaying FCP by 1.3 seconds.
How to Fix:
Move jquery.min.js to footer or use async/defer attributes in WordPress theme functions.php. Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content. Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS files like card-slider.css and article-two-column.css.
