jQuery is causing 44ms of forced reflows by querying geometric properties after DOM changes, hurting TTI.
Update to the latest jQuery version or replace with vanilla JavaScript where possible. Batch DOM reads/writes together to minimize layout thrashing. Consider using WP Asset CleanUp to remove jQuery from pages that don't need it.

This WordPress site has good performance with a score of 83/100, but there are significant opportunities for improvement. The biggest issue is render-blocking resources, particularly CSS and JavaScript files that are preventing the page from displaying content quickly, causing a slower First Contentful Paint of 2.7 seconds and Largest Contentful Paint of 3.8 seconds. The site is also loading oversized images that could be reduced by over 1.8MB through modern formats like WebP and proper responsive sizing. Deferring non-critical JavaScript, optimizing images, and reducing the network dependency chain could potentially improve your score by 10-15 points and provide noticeably faster loading for users.
Why It Matters:
Images are causing 1,816 KiB of wasted bytes and delaying LCP by 600ms, with oversized images being served.
How to Fix:
Install Imagify or ShortPixel to automatically convert images to WebP/AVIF format. Use WordPress responsive image srcset properly - the drill-bits image is 2290x1707 but only displayed at 250x166. Add explicit width/height attributes to all images to prevent layout shifts.
Why It Matters:
Critical CSS and JavaScript files are blocking initial page render for 1,320ms, significantly delaying FCP.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS and inline critical CSS. Move jQuery and theme JavaScript to load asynchronously using async/defer attributes. Prioritize above-the-fold CSS inlining for hero banner and main layout.
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.
