Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 59/100, primarily due to extremely slow loading times - it takes 8.7 seconds for the largest content to appear and for the page to become interactive. The biggest problem is render-blocking resources that delay the initial page display by nearly 5 seconds, caused by CSS and JavaScript files from Elementor plugins loading synchronously. Additionally, the site suffers from a redirect chain, oversized images that aren't properly compressed or responsive, and a bloated 2.7MB total page size including large font files and an embedded video. Fixing the render-blocking resources and optimizing images could potentially improve loading speed by 5+ seconds and dramatically enhance user experience.
Why It Matters:
CSS and JavaScript files are blocking initial page render, delaying FCP by 4.9 seconds.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS like widget-divider.min.css and widget-nav-menu.min.css. Move cookie-consent.js to load asynchronously after page load. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in the HTML document.
Why It Matters:
Oversized images waste 233KB of bandwidth and delay LCP by 750ms with unnecessary downloads.
How to Fix:
Install ShortPixel or Imagify to automatically compress the macbook-mockup.png (reduce from 141KB to 46KB). Generate responsive image sizes in WordPress media settings to serve appropriately sized images. Convert PNG images to WebP format for 30-50% additional compression.
