Logo image is 4x larger than displayed size, wasting 51KB and delaying initial paint.
Replace the 980x463px logo with properly sized 245x116px version in WordPress Media Library. Use ExactDN or ShortPixel to serve responsive images automatically. Add fetchpriority='high' to the logo img tag in Divi's header.php template.

Cumulative Layout Shift
Good: < 0.1
Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 68/100, primarily due to severe layout shift issues that hurt user experience. The biggest problem is web fonts loading late and causing content to jump around the page (Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.12), which makes the site feel unstable as users try to read or interact with it. The site is also loading 6.1 seconds for main content and carries 72 KB of unused JavaScript from the Divi theme, plus oversized images that waste bandwidth. Fixing the font loading strategy and optimizing images could improve the score by 15-20 points and create a much smoother browsing experience.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts cause 0.12 CLS score from 6 font files loading asynchronously and shifting content.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to Google Fonts URLs in your Divi theme. Use font-display: optional for fallback fonts. Preload critical Montserrat and Crimson Text fonts with <link rel='preload'> in wp_head. Consider self-hosting fonts to eliminate third-party requests.
Why It Matters:
72KB of unused JavaScript delays LCP by 450ms and blocks main thread execution.
How to Fix:
Install Divi Booster or Asset CleanUp Pro to disable unused Divi modules. Remove sticky-elements.js if not using sticky functionality. Split Divi scripts.min.js by conditionally loading only required components. Use WP Rocket's 'Load JavaScript Deferred' option for non-critical scripts.
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.
