The hero image is 2.7MB and causes a 1-second delay to LCP while being improperly sized.
Resize the hero image from 2305x2304 to display dimensions (1282x721) to save 2.3MB. Increase compression to save additional 1.9MB. Use WordPress media optimization plugins like ShortPixel or Imagify for automatic WebP conversion and compression.
A score of 65 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.
This site is slower than approximately 35% of similar sites. The main issues affecting performance are image optimization, JavaScript execution time, and layout stability.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 65/100, indicating significant user experience issues. The biggest problem is an extremely slow Largest Contentful Paint of 12.1 seconds, primarily caused by a massive 2.7MB hero image that's both oversized for its display dimensions and poorly compressed. The site also suffers from render-blocking JavaScript (especially jQuery) that delays initial page rendering by 1.3 seconds, and an unusually long Time to Interactive of 13.4 seconds. Optimizing the hero image alone could save over 4MB of data and dramatically improve loading times, while deferring non-critical JavaScript would help users see content much faster.
Why It Matters:
jQuery and other JavaScript files block first paint for 1.3 seconds, significantly delaying content visibility.
How to Fix:
Add 'defer' attribute to jQuery and non-critical JavaScript files in your WordPress theme. Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize plugin to automatically defer render-blocking scripts. Move jQuery to footer unless required for above-the-fold functionality.
Why It Matters:
Missing width and height attributes on partner logo images cause layout shifts that hurt user experience.
How to Fix:
Add explicit width and height attributes to all partner logo SVG images in your WordPress template. Update the image carousel component to include proper dimensions. Use CSS aspect-ratio property for responsive images to maintain layout stability.
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.
