JavaScript is causing 54ms of forced reflows by querying DOM geometry after style changes, blocking the main thread.
Audit the minified JavaScript file (8yg477o6/4o2cz.js) causing reflows. Batch DOM reads and writes together. Use requestAnimationFrame for layout-triggering operations. Consider replacing problematic WordPress plugins or themes causing these issues.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has moderate performance issues with a score of 73/100. The biggest problem is an oversized hero image (2.6MB) that's causing your Largest Contentful Paint to load in a slow 5.3 seconds - this is the most critical issue hurting user experience. The site is also loading too many JavaScript and CSS files in sequence, creating a 2.3-second delay chain, plus there are forced reflows causing layout shifts. Compressing and properly sizing your hero image, deferring non-critical scripts, and optimizing your WordPress caching could improve your score by 15-20 points and make the page feel much faster to users.
Why It Matters:
The LCP hero image is 2.6MB and oversized, causing a 950ms delay to Largest Contentful Paint.
How to Fix:
Resize the hero image from 2305x2304 to actual display dimensions (1282x721). Use WordPress image optimization plugins like ShortPixel or Smush to compress further. Consider using AVIF format for modern browsers with WebP fallback.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS and JavaScript files block initial page render, delaying First Contentful Paint by 1.35 seconds.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical JavaScript. Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content. Move the large 30KB minified JavaScript file (8yg477o6/4o2cz.js) to load after page content using async or defer attributes.
Once your site is optimized, maintain that speed. Use DeployHQ for zero-downtime, automated deployments—so performance fixes and updates go live safely every time, without breaking your site.
