The redirect from www to non-www and slow server response delays all content loading by 1.8+ seconds.
Configure your WordPress hosting to serve the canonical URL without redirects. Optimize server response time by upgrading hosting, enabling PHP 8.1+, and using a CDN like Cloudflare. This will improve both FCP and LCP immediately.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has severely poor performance with a score of just 51/100, indicating significant user experience issues. The biggest problem is extremely slow page loading, with your Largest Contentful Paint taking a devastating 20.6 seconds - far beyond Google's recommended 2.5 seconds. The site is bloated with massive amounts of unused CSS (133 KiB wasted) and JavaScript (695 KiB wasted), particularly from FontAwesome and reCAPTCHA resources that aren't being fully utilized. Additionally, there's a 780ms redirect delay and poor server response times that compound the problem. Cleaning up unused code, optimizing images (which could save 525 KiB), and addressing the redirect issue could potentially improve your score by 30+ points and dramatically enhance user experience.
Why It Matters:
Over 695KB of unused JavaScript and 133KB of unused CSS are blocking render and delaying LCP by 450ms.
How to Fix:
Use Asset CleanUp Pro to identify and disable unused plugins on homepage. Remove or defer FontAwesome, reCAPTCHA, and Lipscore resources that aren't needed above-the-fold. Minify remaining CSS/JS files through your caching plugin.
Why It Matters:
Large unoptimized images waste 525KB and delay LCP by 3.4 seconds.
How to Fix:
Install ShortPixel to compress and convert images to WebP format automatically. Add explicit width/height attributes to prevent layout shifts. Use responsive images with srcset for the hero banner and Chris Practicing image to serve appropriate sizes.
