Optimize Video Asset Loading

Medium Impact+1 point estimated

Why It Matters

The 5MB video file dominates your 5.1MB total payload and likely delays other critical resources.

How to Fix

Compress the Tall-Reel-2025-Teaser.mp4 using H.264 with lower bitrate. Implement lazy loading with intersection observer API. Consider poster image with click-to-play for above-the-fold videos.

What This Score Means

A score of 96 falls in the "Good" 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.

AI Performance Analysis

This WordPress site performs very well with an excellent score of 96/100, but there's still room for improvement. The biggest issue is a large 5MB video file that's contributing to an enormous network payload and causing some loading delays, with your Largest Contentful Paint at 2.7 seconds. You can boost performance further by removing unused JavaScript (particularly jQuery which is 76% unused), optimizing or compressing that video file, and fixing forced reflows in your animation scripts that are causing unnecessary layout recalculations. These optimizations could save you about 150ms in load time and reduce bandwidth costs for your users.

Other Optimization Recommendations

Eliminate Forced Layout Reflows

High Impact+2 points estimated

Why It Matters:

JavaScript is causing 139ms of forced reflows that block the main thread and delay user interactions.

How to Fix:

Optimize your GSAP animations and SplitText usage to batch DOM reads and writes. Use requestAnimationFrame for layout-triggering operations. Cache geometric properties instead of repeatedly querying offsetWidth/offsetHeight in your main.bundle.js.

Remove Unused jQuery Code

High Impact+1 point estimated

Why It Matters:

jQuery contributes 24KB (76% unused) that delays LCP by 150ms with no functional benefit.

How to Fix:

Audit your WordPress theme for jQuery dependencies in tall/dist/js/. Replace jQuery functionality with vanilla JavaScript or remove if unused. Use wp_deregister_script('jquery') in functions.php if not needed by plugins.
