How to optimize myworks.software
The hero image lacks fetchpriority='high' which could improve LCP by reducing discovery time.
Add fetchpriority='high' to the main hero image in your Elementor template. Navigate to the image widget settings and add this attribute in the Advanced > Attributes section. This tells browsers to prioritize loading this critical image first.
A score of 66 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.
Addressing these issues could improve your conversion rate by 15-20% and boost your search engine rankings.

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 66/100, primarily due to an extremely slow Largest Contentful Paint of 9.0 seconds. The biggest issue is excessive unused JavaScript from Google Tag Manager and tracking scripts, which is blocking the page load and could save over 1 second if optimized. Additionally, the site has oversized images that need responsive sizing (saving 263 KiB), render-blocking CSS files delaying initial page display, and missing image dimensions causing layout shifts. Reducing unused JavaScript, implementing proper image optimization, and adding fetchpriority="high" to the main banner image would significantly improve both the performance score and user experience.
Why It Matters:
Google Tag Manager scripts waste 177KB and delay LCP by 1050ms with 53% unused code.
How to Fix:
Audit your Google Analytics and Tag Manager setup to remove unused conversion tracking. Defer GTM loading until after page interaction using a plugin like WP Rocket. Consider moving to Google Analytics 4 minimal tracking to reduce payload size.
Why It Matters:
Oversized carousel images waste 263KB bandwidth and slow LCP by 300ms unnecessarily.
How to Fix:
Configure your WordPress media settings to generate properly sized thumbnails for mobile displays (412px width). Use Elementor's responsive image settings or install a plugin like EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically serve appropriately sized images based on device viewport.
