Layout shifts of 0.137 CLS are caused by content moving as fonts and images load.
Add explicit dimensions to all images in your Divi modules. Set font-display: swap for FontAwesome fonts in Divi theme options. Reserve space for dynamic content with CSS min-height properties to prevent content jumping.
A score of 81 falls in the "Needs Improvement" 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 WordPress site has good performance with a score of 81/100, but there are notable areas for improvement. The biggest issue is excessive unused CSS (65 KB of wasted code) that's slowing down page loading by 300ms and affecting both First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint metrics. The site also suffers from layout shifts as content loads, creating a jarring user experience, and oversized images that could be 43 KB smaller with proper responsive sizing. Cleaning up the unused CSS from plugins like Divi Pixel and optimizing image dimensions would provide the most significant performance gains.
Why It Matters:
The LCP image is not discoverable in initial HTML and lacks priority hints, delaying LCP to 4.0 seconds.
How to Fix:
Add fetchpriority='high' to the main content image. Remove lazy loading from above-the-fold images by excluding them from your lazy loading plugin. Optimize the patient meeting image to proper dimensions (reduce from 980x649 to 649x430) using WordPress media settings or ShortPixel.
Why It Matters:
66KB of unused CSS is blocking render and delaying both FCP by 150ms and LCP by 300ms.
How to Fix:
Remove or disable the Divi Pixel plugin as its CSS file is 99.9% unused. Use Asset CleanUp Pro to conditionally load Divi theme CSS only where needed. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS for faster rendering.
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.
