The header logo downloads at 923x436 but displays at 245x116, wasting 18KB unnecessarily.
Generate properly sized image variants using WordPress's add_image_size() function. Create a 245x116 WebP version for desktop and smaller for mobile. Update the theme template to use srcset with appropriate breakpoints.

This WordPress site performs excellently with a score of 95/100, indicating fast loading times for users. The biggest issue is unused CSS code that's wasting 66 KiB of data and slowing down page rendering by 300 milliseconds, particularly from the Divi Pixel plugin which loads almost entirely unused styles. Additionally, the site has some forced reflow issues causing layout shifts and an oversized logo image that could be optimized. Cleaning up the unused CSS would provide the most significant performance boost and further improve an already strong user experience.
Why It Matters:
67KB of unused CSS delays LCP by 300ms and wastes critical rendering bandwidth.
How to Fix:
Disable the unused Divi Pixel plugin (99% unused CSS). Use Asset CleanUp Pro to conditionally load CSS only where needed. Minify and combine remaining stylesheets using WP Rocket or Autoptimize.
Why It Matters:
Forced reflows block the main thread for 81ms, creating potential user interaction delays.
How to Fix:
Identify scripts causing layout thrashing using Chrome DevTools Performance tab. Batch DOM reads and writes together in JavaScript code. Consider deferring non-critical scripts that manipulate layout properties.
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.
