Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has severe performance issues with a critically low score of 32/100. The biggest problem is excessive JavaScript execution taking over 4 seconds, which is blocking the main thread and severely delaying user interactions. The site is also plagued by massive amounts of unused code - wasting 783 KB of JavaScript and 221 KB of CSS that users have to download but never actually use. Cleaning up this bloated code, reducing JavaScript execution time, and fixing the unsized images causing layout shifts could dramatically improve the site's performance and user experience by several seconds.
Why It Matters:
JavaScript is blocking the main thread for 4.1 seconds, preventing user interactions and delaying page load completion.
How to Fix:
Remove unused ReCaptcha scripts (saving 330KB) and optimize Vimeo player loading. Install WP Rocket to defer non-critical JavaScript. Audit WordPress plugins and remove unnecessary ones that add JavaScript overhead.
Why It Matters:
Layout shifts (CLS 0.405) are caused by unsized images, creating jarring user experience as content jumps during load.
How to Fix:
Add explicit width and height attributes to all images, especially the Equal Housing Opportunity SVG in footer. Update your WordPress theme to include image dimensions. Consider using aspect-ratio CSS for responsive images while preventing layout shifts.
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.
