How to optimize myworks.software
Poor caching wastes 423KB on repeat visits and delays LCP by 1.1 seconds for returning users.
Configure WordPress caching plugin to set proper cache headers for static assets (1 year for fonts, 1 month for CSS/JS). Move Font Awesome and other static resources to a CDN. Set longer cache lifetimes for Facebook Pixel and third-party scripts using cache control headers.
A score of 37 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.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has severe performance issues with a critically low score of 37/100. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS and JavaScript files that are preventing the page from displaying content quickly, causing an extremely slow First Contentful Paint of 6 seconds and Largest Contentful Paint of 12.1 seconds. The site is loading over 500KB of unused JavaScript and 25KB of unused CSS, while also suffering from inefficient caching that wastes 423KB of data on repeat visits. Deferring non-critical CSS/JS, removing unused code, and implementing proper browser caching could improve performance by 3-4 seconds and dramatically enhance user experience.
Why It Matters:
Render-blocking requests delay First Contentful Paint by 2.8 seconds, significantly slowing initial page visibility.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS. Inline critical above-the-fold CSS directly in HTML. Move Font Awesome and widget-specific CSS to load asynchronously using media='print' onload="this.media='all'" technique.
Why It Matters:
501KB of unused JavaScript and 25KB of unused CSS waste bandwidth and delay LCP by 2.1 seconds.
How to Fix:
Install Asset CleanUp plugin to disable unused Elementor widgets and Font Awesome icons on specific pages. Remove or replace heavy third-party scripts like HubSpot chat widget with lighter alternatives. Use PurgeCSS or similar tools to eliminate 99% unused Font Awesome styles.
