The LCP image has a 4.3-second resource load delay because it's not discoverable in the initial HTML.
Add fetchpriority='high' attribute to the hero banner image in Elementor. Use a preload link tag for the critical WebP image in your theme's header.php. Remove lazy loading from above-the-fold images in Elementor widget settings.

This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 67/100, indicating significant room for improvement. The biggest problem is an extremely slow Largest Contentful Paint of 7.2 seconds, primarily caused by a 4.3-second delay in loading the main banner image due to inefficient resource discovery and blocking CSS files. The site is also weighed down by 177 KB of unused JavaScript from Google Analytics/Tag Manager and 25 KB of unused CSS from Font Awesome libraries that are 99% unnecessary. Fixing the image loading delay, removing unused code, and optimizing the render-blocking CSS could potentially improve the performance score by 25+ points and dramatically enhance user experience.
Why It Matters:
177 KiB of unused JavaScript and 25 KiB of unused CSS are delaying LCP by over 1 second.
How to Fix:
Use Asset CleanUp or Perfmatters plugin to disable unused FontAwesome CSS files (99% unused). Configure Google Tag Manager to load conditionally only where needed. Remove or defer unused Elementor widget scripts that aren't used on the homepage.
Why It Matters:
Three render-blocking CSS files are delaying First Contentful Paint by 810ms.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to inline critical CSS for Elementor post styles. Load background CSS files asynchronously using loadCSS technique. Move custom CSS files to load after initial render using WordPress wp_enqueue_script with proper dependencies.
