How to optimize bdwinternationalschool.com
Render-blocking CSS and JavaScript are delaying your first paint by 2,290ms, severely impacting both LCP and FCP.
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical JavaScript. Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content. Move PixelYourSite and FluentForm scripts to load asynchronously after page render.
A score of 48 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 48/100. The biggest problem is render-blocking JavaScript and CSS files that are delaying the initial page load by 2.3 seconds, severely impacting both First Contentful Paint (3.0s) and Largest Contentful Paint (4.1s). The site is loading too many plugin resources upfront, including PixelYourSite tracking scripts and form styling that could be deferred. Additionally, there's 35KB of unnecessary legacy JavaScript from Facebook's tracking code that modern browsers don't need. Deferring non-critical scripts and optimizing the plugin loading sequence could improve the performance score by 15-20 points and provide users with much faster page rendering.
Why It Matters:
Large unoptimized images are wasting 533KB and delaying LCP by 500ms with poor format choices.
How to Fix:
Install ShortPixel or Imagify to compress and convert images to WebP. Add proper width/height attributes to prevent layout shifts. Implement lazy loading for the carousel images below the fold.
Why It Matters:
JavaScript is blocking the main thread for 3.2 seconds, creating 1,220ms of Total Blocking Time and preventing user interactions.
How to Fix:
Remove unused JavaScript (673KB detected). Defer jQuery and Splide.js loading until needed. Consider removing heavy Facebook Pixel implementation or loading it after page interactive using Google Tag Manager.
