Cumulative Layout Shift
Good: < 0.1
Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has good performance with a score of 83/100, but there are significant issues affecting user experience. The biggest problem is layout shift caused by web fonts loading late, creating a poor Cumulative Layout Shift score of 0.115 that makes content jump around as the page loads. The site also has a slow Speed Index of 7.0 seconds and wastes 54KB on unused CSS, which delays content from appearing quickly. To improve performance, preload critical web fonts to prevent layout shifts, remove unused CSS from the WordPress theme, and optimize the oversized logo image that's downloading at 768x363 but only displaying at 245x116 pixels.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts are causing 0.115 CLS score and significant layout shifts during page load.
How to Fix:
Add preload links for Montserrat and Crimson Text fonts in your WordPress theme's header.php. Use font-display: swap in your CSS to prevent invisible text during font load. Consider hosting fonts locally through a plugin like OMGF to reduce external requests.
Why It Matters:
85% of loaded CSS (54 KiB) is unused, delaying render and wasting bandwidth.
How to Fix:
Install Asset CleanUp Pro to identify unused Divi modules and disable them. Use Divi's performance settings to disable unused CSS features. Consider using a critical CSS plugin like WP Rocket to inline above-the-fold styles and defer the rest.
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.
