How to optimize myworks.software
Poor cache lifetimes for scripts waste 25 KiB on repeat visits and slow LCP by 300ms.
Add cache headers via .htaccess for static assets (1 year expiry). Configure WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache to set proper browser caching. For external scripts like Clarity.js, use a caching plugin to proxy and cache these resources locally.
A score of 74 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.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has below-average performance with a score of 74/100, showing significant room for improvement. The biggest problem is excessive unused JavaScript from Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts, which is wasting 178 KB and adding 450ms to page load times, contributing to a slow 8.4-second Time to Interactive. The site's Largest Contentful Paint is also problematic at 5.6 seconds, well above the recommended 2.5 seconds. Quick wins include removing unused JavaScript code, optimizing oversized badge images in the footer, and adding explicit width/height dimensions to carousel images to prevent layout shifts.
Why It Matters:
Unused Google Analytics and GTM scripts waste 178 KiB and delay LCP by 450ms.
How to Fix:
Install Google Tag Manager for WordPress plugin to control script loading. Configure GTM to load analytics scripts only after page interaction using trigger delays. Use Partytown or similar to move tracking scripts to web workers, preventing main thread blocking.
Why It Matters:
Missing width/height attributes on carousel images cause layout shifts during loading.
How to Fix:
Edit your WordPress theme's carousel template files to add explicit width='380' height='475' attributes to all img tags. If using Elementor, set fixed image dimensions in the widget settings. Install Autoptimize plugin to automatically add missing image dimensions sitewide.
