Adobe Typekit fonts delay First Contentful Paint by 50ms causing text invisibility.
Add font-display: swap to your Adobe Typekit configuration through their dashboard settings. Install a plugin like OMGF (Optimize My Google Fonts) to host fonts locally with swap display. Implement font metric overrides in your WordPress theme's CSS to prevent layout shifts during font loading.

This WordPress site has below-average performance with a score of 73/100, with the biggest problem being excessive unused JavaScript that's delaying your Largest Contentful Paint by 6.5 seconds. The site is loading 133 KiB of unnecessary JavaScript from Google Tag Manager, jQuery, and Swiper components that aren't being used, which could save over 500ms in load time if removed or deferred. Additionally, your custom fonts from Typekit are blocking text rendering, and static assets like videos and images have no browser caching configured, forcing users to re-download 358 KiB of content on every visit. Cleaning up unused code, optimizing font loading, and implementing proper caching could easily boost your performance score by 15-20 points and significantly improve user experience.
Why It Matters:
133 KiB of unused JavaScript delays LCP by 500ms and blocks page interactivity.
How to Fix:
Audit WordPress plugins to identify unused features from Google Tag Manager, jQuery, and Swiper. Use Asset CleanUp Pro to conditionally load scripts only where needed. Replace jQuery dependencies with vanilla JavaScript where possible to eliminate the 24 KiB jQuery overhead.
Why It Matters:
358 KiB of video and image assets have no cache headers, forcing re-downloads on repeat visits.
How to Fix:
Add cache headers to your .htaccess file or use WP Rocket caching plugin to set 1-year expiration for images and videos. Configure your hosting provider (Pantheon) to enable browser caching for static assets. Prioritize caching the 305 KiB WebM video which has the largest impact.
