How to optimize solsticehw.com
Your CLS score of 0.954 is critically poor, causing severe content jumping that destroys user experience.
Add explicit dimensions to the unsized logo image in your Divi header. Preload critical fonts (Montserrat, Crimson Text) using <link rel='preload'> in your theme's header.php. Set font-display: swap on all custom fonts to prevent invisible text periods.
A score of 49 falls in the "Poor" 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.
Addressing these issues could improve your conversion rate by 15-20% and boost your search engine rankings.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 49/100, primarily due to severe layout instability that creates a jarring user experience. The biggest problem is excessive layout shifting (CLS score of 0.95) caused by unsized images, web fonts loading without proper display settings, and content jumping around as the page loads. Additionally, render-blocking CSS and JavaScript files are delaying the initial page display by nearly 3 seconds, while the site is loading 143KB of unused CSS and 72KB of unused JavaScript. Fixing the image sizing, implementing proper font-display settings, and removing unused code could dramatically improve both the performance score and user experience by eliminating the disruptive content shifts.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS and JavaScript files are delaying your page render by 2.8 seconds, directly impacting LCP.
How to Fix:
Defer non-critical Divi CSS files using WP Rocket's 'Remove Unused CSS' feature. Move jQuery and other JavaScript to footer using Autoptimize plugin. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS for immediate rendering.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts are causing 570ms delays in First Contentful Paint and contributing to layout shifts.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all Google Fonts URLs in your Divi theme settings. Use the SWAP Web Fonts plugin for WordPress to automatically optimize font loading. Consider using system fonts as fallbacks with similar metrics to reduce layout shift.
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.
