How to optimize myworks.software
Poor cache policies waste 422KB on repeat visits and delay LCP by 1.45 seconds for returning users.
Configure longer cache lifetimes for static assets - set 1 year expiry for fonts, images, and CSS/JS files in WordPress .htaccess. Install WP Fastest Cache or W3 Total Cache for page-level caching. Set Facebook Pixel and external scripts to cache for at least 7 days instead of 20 minutes.
A score of 38 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.
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 severe performance issues with a critically low score of 38/100. The biggest problem is excessive JavaScript blocking the page load, causing an extremely slow First Contentful Paint of 7.8 seconds and making the site completely unusable for 23.2 seconds while it becomes interactive. The site is loading over 500KB of unnecessary JavaScript from plugins like Elementor and tracking scripts, plus 25KB of unused CSS that's delaying content from appearing. Removing unused code, optimizing JavaScript delivery, and addressing the render-blocking resources could improve the score by 40+ points and transform this from an unusable site into a functional one.
Why It Matters:
Unused code blocks the main thread for 2.6 seconds and wastes 512KB of bandwidth, severely delaying LCP by 1.95 seconds.
How to Fix:
Install Asset CleanUp Pro to identify and remove unused plugins like unused Font Awesome icons (25KB wasted). Audit HubSpot chat widget, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel - defer or remove if not essential. Use WP Rocket to minify and combine remaining CSS/JS files.
Why It Matters:
Critical resources block page rendering for 3.27 seconds, preventing First Contentful Paint and user engagement.
How to Fix:
Move jQuery and Font Awesome JavaScript to load asynchronously using async/defer attributes. Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content using WP Rocket's critical CSS feature. Load non-essential scripts after page load using WordPress's wp_enqueue_script with 'in_footer' parameter set to true.
