How to optimize swansplumbing.com.au
The LCP image has lazy loading applied and lacks priority hints, causing unnecessary delay in the largest visual element.
Remove loading='lazy' from the hero background image (bg-map.png) and add fetchpriority='high' attribute. Compress the image further to reduce its 23KB size. Consider using a CDN with better compression or convert to WebP format for additional savings.
A score of 54 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 WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 54/100. The biggest problem is an extremely slow server response time of 1.8 seconds combined with a redirect that adds another 780ms delay, causing your pages to start loading much later than they should. Your Largest Contentful Paint is suffering at 6.9 seconds, and there's also 307 KiB of unused JavaScript from Google Analytics and other scripts that could be optimized. Fixing the server response time and eliminating the redirect would provide the most immediate impact, potentially improving your Core Web Vitals by over 2 seconds.
Why It Matters:
Document latency of 1,840ms and redirect delays are severely impacting both LCP and FCP by over 2.6 seconds combined.
How to Fix:
Eliminate the redirect from swansplumbing.com.au to www.swansplumbing.com.au by updating DNS/server configuration to serve www directly. Optimize your WordPress hosting with better server resources or switch to a performance-focused host like WP Engine. Enable server-level caching and compression.
Why It Matters:
307 KiB of unused JavaScript is adding 750ms to LCP and blocking page interactivity.
How to Fix:
Use Asset CleanUp Pro to disable Google Tag Manager and Analytics on non-essential pages. Configure WP Rocket to defer JavaScript execution until user interaction. Remove unused features from your minified footer JavaScript file that's causing forced reflows.
