Optimize and Compress Product Images
High Impact+15 points estimated
Why It Matters
Large, uncompressed images are wasting 217 KiB and potentially impacting LCP performance with the main product image being 209 KiB oversized.
How to Fix
Install ShortPixel or Smush plugin to automatically compress the Neapolitan pizza image and other product photos. Increase compression levels for product images since they're currently under-compressed. Set proper image dimensions in WooCommerce to match display sizes (300x300 for thumbnails).

AI Performance Analysis
This WordPress site has good performance with a score of 90/100, but there are still some significant issues holding it back. The biggest problem is excessive main-thread work (2.1 seconds) caused by heavy JavaScript processing, particularly from unused reCAPTCHA code that's wasting 363 KiB of bandwidth. The site also suffers from poor interactivity with an 11.1-second Time to Interactive, plus image optimization issues that could save 217 KiB in file sizes. Reducing unused JavaScript, optimizing images, and cleaning up unused CSS (119 KiB wasted) would dramatically improve user experience and push this site closer to a perfect performance score.
Other Optimization Recommendations
Reduce Unused CSS and JavaScript
High Impact+18 points estimatedWhy It Matters:
Unused CSS (119 KiB) and JavaScript (363 KiB) are blocking rendering and extending load times by 450ms for LCP.
How to Fix:
Use Asset CleanUp or Perfmatters plugin to disable unused reCAPTCHA resources on non-contact pages. Remove or defer the duplicate reCAPTCHA script loading. Enable LiteSpeed Cache's CSS/JS optimization to purge unused code automatically.
Fix Font Display and Image Dimensions
Medium Impact+8 points estimatedWhy It Matters:
Missing image dimensions cause layout shifts affecting CLS, and fonts without proper display settings delay text rendering by 60ms.
How to Fix:
Add explicit width='25' height='25' attributes to phone and envelope footer icons in your WordPress theme templates. Set font-display: swap in your theme's CSS for FontAwesome and Outfit fonts to prevent invisible text during font load.
