How to optimize solsticehw.com
Web fonts cause 0.115 CLS score by shifting text during load, significantly hurting user experience.
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your Divi theme. Use rel='preload' for critical fonts (Montserrat, Crimson Text) in the <head>. Consider using system fonts as fallbacks with similar metrics to reduce layout shift.
A score of 79 falls in the "Needs Improvement" 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 good performance with a score of 79/100, but has room for improvement. The biggest issue is web fonts loading late in the page load process, causing significant layout shifts (CLS of 0.115) as text reflows when fonts finish downloading. The site is also carrying 72KB of unused JavaScript and 52KB of unused CSS from the Divi theme, which contributes to slower load times with First Contentful Paint at 3.2 seconds. Implementing font-display: swap, preloading critical fonts, and removing unused theme code could easily push this site into the 85+ performance range while eliminating the jarring layout shifts users experience.
Why It Matters:
Unused JavaScript from Divi totals 72 KiB, slowing down page interactivity and blocking main thread.
How to Fix:
Install Divi Booster or use Asset CleanUp Pro to disable unused Divi modules and scripts. Remove sticky-elements.js if not using sticky functionality. Consider switching to Divi's static CSS/JS generation in theme options.
Why It Matters:
The header logo is 21 KB oversized for its display dimensions, impacting LCP and initial paint.
How to Fix:
Resize the logo image to actual display size (245x116px) instead of serving 768x363px version. Use WebP format and compress with TinyPNG. Update the WordPress media library with optimized version.
Once your site is optimized, maintain that speed. Use DeployHQ for zero-downtime, automated deployments—so performance fixes and updates go live safely every time, without breaking your site.
