TypeKit fonts are causing 40ms delays and contributing to layout shifts during page load.
Add font-display: swap to TypeKit CSS or use a plugin like OMGF to host fonts locally. Preload the most critical font files using <link rel='preload'> in your WordPress theme's header.php. Consider using system fonts as fallbacks with similar metrics to reduce layout shifts.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 56/100, indicating significant issues that hurt user experience. The biggest problem is massive render-blocking CSS files that delay initial page rendering by over 3.5 seconds, particularly a 223KB main stylesheet that's 97% unused code. Additionally, the site loads nearly 300KB of unnecessary JavaScript and suffers from inefficient image delivery, including a 730KB PNG that should be converted to modern formats like WebP. Cleaning up the CSS, removing unused code, and optimizing images could improve the performance score by 30+ points and dramatically reduce load times from the current 14+ seconds.
Why It Matters:
CSS files are blocking initial page render for 3.56 seconds, severely delaying both FCP and LCP.
How to Fix:
Minify the main.css file to reduce its 223KB size by 80%. Use a WordPress plugin like Autoptimize to inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content. Defer non-critical CSS using media='print' onload technique or WP Rocket's CSS optimization features.
Why It Matters:
297KB of unused JavaScript is delaying LCP by 1.2 seconds and blocking the main thread.
How to Fix:
Remove or defer the Zendesk chat widget that's loading 108KB of unused code. Audit jQuery UI usage and replace with lighter alternatives. Use WordPress Asset CleanUp plugin to disable unused scripts on specific pages and implement code splitting for the main bundle.
