How to optimize myworks.software
Oversized images are wasting 41 KiB and your carousel images lack explicit dimensions, causing layout shifts that hurt CLS.
Install Smush or ShortPixel to automatically resize images to their display dimensions. Add explicit width and height attributes to all carousel images in your Elementor widgets. Use WordPress's responsive image features with proper srcset attributes for different screen sizes.
A score of 69 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 below-average performance with a score of 69/100, indicating significant room for improvement. The biggest problem is an extremely slow Largest Contentful Paint of 8.4 seconds, which means visitors wait over 8 seconds to see the main content load - this severely impacts user experience and search rankings. The primary culprits are unused JavaScript (178 KiB of wasted code, mainly from Google Tag Manager scripts) and oversized images that are much larger than their display dimensions. Cleaning up unused JavaScript, properly sizing images, and implementing better caching could potentially improve the performance score by 25+ points and dramatically reduce loading times.
Why It Matters:
Unused JavaScript is wasting 178 KiB and delaying LCP by 1.2 seconds, severely impacting your largest contentful paint of 8.4s.
How to Fix:
Review Google Tag Manager implementation and remove unused tracking scripts. Defer Google Analytics and advertising scripts using async/defer attributes. Consider using a WordPress plugin like Flying Scripts to delay non-essential JavaScript until user interaction.
Why It Matters:
Poor cache lifetimes are wasting 25 KiB on repeat visits and missing opportunities to improve LCP by 300ms.
How to Fix:
Install WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache to set proper browser cache headers. Configure longer cache times for static assets like fonts and images. Use a CDN like Cloudflare to cache third-party scripts like Clarity.js and Usercentrics loader with appropriate headers.
