This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 74/100, indicating significant room for improvement. The biggest problem is an extremely slow server response time of 800ms, which is delaying both First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint by 700ms each. Additionally, the site has inefficient caching (wasting 147 KiB), excessive unused CSS (129 KiB), and render-blocking resources that delay page loading by over 3 seconds. Addressing the server response time and implementing proper caching would provide the most immediate performance gains, while optimizing CSS delivery and font loading could further improve Core Web Vitals scores substantially.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS files are blocking page rendering for 3.3 seconds, severely delaying visual content.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket's 'Remove Unused CSS' feature or Autoptimize plugin to inline critical CSS. Defer non-critical stylesheets using rel='preload' with onload handler. Split your 77KB critical.css file into above-the-fold and deferred sections.
Why It Matters:
Missing cache headers force browsers to re-download 147KB of assets on every visit.
How to Fix:
Add cache-control headers to your .htaccess file or use WP Rocket's browser caching feature. Set CSS/JS files to cache for 1 year, fonts for 1 year, and images for 6 months. Enable ETags for better cache validation.
