Optimize Font Display Strategy

Medium Impact+8 points estimated

Why It Matters

Web fonts are causing 650ms delay in First Contentful Paint without fallback display.

How to Fix

Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your theme's CSS. Use Divi theme customizer to add custom CSS: @font-face { font-display: swap; }. Consider using font-display: optional for non-critical decorative fonts.

What This Score Means

A score of 58 falls in the "Needs Improvement" 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.

AI Performance Analysis

This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 58/100, primarily due to severe layout shift issues that create a jarring user experience. The biggest problem is a massive Cumulative Layout Shift score of 0.981 (anything above 0.1 is considered poor), caused by unsized images and web fonts loading after the page renders, making content jump around as users try to read it. Additionally, the site has significant render-blocking CSS files that delay initial page loading by nearly 2 seconds, and excessive unused CSS/JavaScript that wastes 215 KiB of bandwidth. Fixing image dimensions, optimizing font loading with proper display properties, and removing unused code could dramatically improve both the performance score and user experience.

Other Optimization Recommendations

Fix Critical Layout Shifts

High Impact+25 points estimated

Why It Matters:

Massive CLS score of 0.98 severely impacts user experience and search rankings.

How to Fix:

Add explicit width='1600' height='756' to the Solstice Health & Wellness logo image. Preload critical fonts using <link rel='preload' as='font'> for Crimson Text and Montserrat. Reserve space for dynamic content areas with CSS min-height to prevent content jumping.

Eliminate Render-Blocking CSS

High Impact+18 points estimated

Why It Matters:

Critical CSS files are blocking page rendering and delaying LCP by 1.9 seconds.

How to Fix:

Inline critical above-the-fold CSS from Divi theme styles directly in the <head>. Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS like Monarch plugin styles. Remove unused CSS rules from divi-pixel plugin (99.9% unused).
