Multiple web fonts are causing significant layout shifts (CLS: 0.115) as they load and reflow text content.
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your theme CSS. Preload critical fonts by adding <link rel='preload'> tags in your WordPress header.php for Montserrat and Crimson Text. Consider reducing from 6 font files to 2-3 essential variants to minimize load time.
A score of 84 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 good performance with a score of 84/100, but there's room for improvement. The biggest issue is web fonts causing layout shifts as they load, which creates a jarring experience where text jumps around the page (0.115 CLS score). The site also has a slower First Contentful Paint at 3.0 seconds due to multiple font files loading in sequence. To improve performance, consider using font-display: swap in your CSS, preloading critical fonts, and optimizing the oversized logo image which could save 21KB of bandwidth.
Why It Matters:
53 KiB of unused CSS (85% of total) is slowing down First Contentful Paint and blocking render.
How to Fix:
Install Asset CleanUp or Autoptimize plugin to remove unused CSS from Divi theme. Use WordPress admin to disable unused Divi modules and features. Purge unused CSS from your child theme and consider switching to a lighter theme framework.
Why It Matters:
The header logo is 21 KiB larger than needed, being served at 768x363 but displayed at 245x116 pixels.
How to Fix:
Create properly sized logo variants using WordPress media settings or a plugin like Smush. Set responsive image sizes in your theme's functions.php. Enable ExactDN optimization settings to automatically serve correctly sized images based on device display requirements.
