Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 32/100, indicating serious speed issues that will frustrate users. The biggest problem is multiple page redirects that waste 1.6 seconds before the page even starts loading, combined with massive amounts of unused CSS (67 KB) and JavaScript (585 KB) that slow everything down. The site takes over 6.7 seconds to show its main content and nearly 20 seconds to become fully interactive, which is far too slow for modern web standards. Fixing the redirect chain, removing unused code, and optimizing the oversized images could dramatically improve performance and provide a much better user experience.
Why It Matters:
URL redirects add 1.56 seconds delay before content starts loading, severely impacting both FCP and LCP.
How to Fix:
Update WordPress site URL and home URL in wp-config.php to use 'https://www.russellfinex.com/en/' directly. Remove the redirect chain from russellfinex.com → www.russellfinex.com → www.russellfinex.com/en/. Configure your web server to serve the canonical URL without redirects.
Why It Matters:
Custom web fonts cause 0.136 CLS score as text reflows when fonts load, creating jarring visual shifts.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your theme's CSS files. Preload critical Proxima Nova font files using <link rel='preload'> in WordPress header.php. Define font fallbacks with similar metrics to reduce layout shift impact when custom fonts load.
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.
