Video element causes 0.712 CLS score by shifting content during load, creating jarring user experience.
Add explicit dimensions to video container with aspect-ratio CSS property. Reserve space for video player using min-height before MediaElement.js loads. Use CSS transform instead of changing element dimensions during video initialization.
A score of 10 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.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has extremely poor performance with a score of only 10/100, indicating severe user experience issues. The biggest problem is massive unused JavaScript from YouTube embeds (1,909 KiB wasted), which is delaying your Largest Contentful Paint to a catastrophic 14.3 seconds - nearly 10 seconds slower than Google's recommended threshold. Additionally, the site suffers from render-blocking CSS resources, unoptimized PNG images that could be converted to WebP format, and significant layout shifts caused by video elements loading. Removing or deferring unused YouTube scripts, optimizing images, and fixing the video loading issues could potentially improve your performance score by 60+ points and dramatically reduce load times from 14+ seconds to under 4 seconds.
Why It Matters:
Unused JavaScript wastes 1.9MB and delays LCP by 4.8 seconds, severely impacting page performance.
How to Fix:
Replace YouTube embeds with lite-youtube-embed plugin or wp-youtube-lyte. Use facade loading to show thumbnail until user clicks. Alternatively, load YouTube videos only when they scroll into view using intersection observer.
Why It Matters:
Large PNG images waste 2.2MB bandwidth and slow LCP by 2.7 seconds on mobile connections.
How to Fix:
Install ShortPixel or Imagify WordPress plugin to auto-convert images to WebP. Manually convert the 1.3MB Mike-Moore-Veterans-Park.png to WebP format. Enable responsive images with proper srcset attributes for different screen sizes.
