This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 63/100. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS files that are delaying the First Contentful Paint by 3.6 seconds, preventing users from seeing content quickly. The site is also suffering from a very slow Largest Contentful Paint of 7.3 seconds due to an oversized hero image and inefficient font loading that adds another 300ms delay. Optimizing image sizes, implementing efficient caching, and deferring non-critical CSS could improve the score by 30+ points and dramatically enhance user experience.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS files are blocking First Contentful Paint by 3.55 seconds, severely delaying visible content.
How to Fix:
Use a WordPress optimization plugin like WP Rocket or Autoptimize to inline critical CSS and defer non-critical stylesheets. Minimize Elementor CSS files by combining them into a single optimized file. Move widget-specific CSS like accordion and motion-fx to load only when needed.
Why It Matters:
44KB of unused JavaScript from jQuery and Swiper libraries increases load time and delays LCP by 150ms.
How to Fix:
Use Asset CleanUp Pro to disable jQuery on pages that don't need it. Replace heavy Elementor Swiper library with lighter alternatives for simple carousels. Enable tree-shaking in your build process to remove unused functions from bundled scripts.
