Missing cache headers force 174 KiB of resources to re-download on every visit, delaying LCP by 800ms and FCP by 650ms.
Add cache headers via your WordPress hosting panel or .htaccess file for static assets. Set 1-year expiry for jQuery, fonts, and JavaScript files. Configure your CDN or hosting provider to automatically cache WordPress assets with proper headers.

This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 70/100, showing concerning load times of 4.4 seconds for both First Contentful Paint and a 5.2-second Largest Contentful Paint. The biggest issue is inefficient caching, which could save 174 KiB and improve loading times by up to 800ms - critical files like jQuery and tracking scripts have no cache lifetime set. Additional quick wins include removing 20 KiB of unused FontAwesome CSS (99% unused), deferring render-blocking stylesheets that are delaying initial paint by 820ms, and optimizing font loading with proper font-display settings. Addressing these caching and CSS optimization issues could easily boost the performance score into the 80s and significantly improve user experience.
Why It Matters:
Multiple CSS files are blocking initial page render, delaying both LCP and FCP by 800ms.
How to Fix:
Use a WordPress optimization plugin like WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS. Inline critical above-the-fold styles directly in the HTML head. Load WooCommerce and plugin CSS files asynchronously using loadCSS or similar technique.
Why It Matters:
99.4% of the 20KB FontAwesome CSS file is unused, contributing unnecessary bloat to your page load.
How to Fix:
Replace FontAwesome with individual SVG icons for only the icons you use. Alternatively, use a FontAwesome subset generator to include only required icons. Consider switching to WordPress's built-in Dashicons for basic UI elements.
