Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has good performance with a score of 90/100, but there are important improvements needed for optimal user experience. The biggest issue is web font loading causing significant layout shifts (CLS score of 0.106) and delayed content rendering - fonts are blocking text display for up to 570ms and causing multiple layout shifts as they load. Fixing font display settings to use "font-display: swap" and optimizing the unused CSS (76KB that could be removed) would eliminate most layout shifts and speed up content rendering. Additionally, the site has 1.7 seconds of resource load delay contributing to the 3-second Largest Contentful Paint, which could be improved by addressing the font loading strategy.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts are causing 570ms delay in First Contentful Paint and triggering layout shifts worth 0.038 CLS points.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your Divi theme CSS. Preload critical fonts (Crimson Text, Montserrat) using <link rel='preload'> in your WordPress header. Install OMGF plugin to host Google Fonts locally and reduce external requests.
Why It Matters:
Your header logo is 18KB larger than needed for its display size, contributing to resource load delay.
How to Fix:
Resize the Solstice logo image to match its actual display dimensions (245x116px instead of 923x436px) using WordPress Media Library or ShortPixel. Generate responsive image sizes in your Divi theme settings. Add fetchpriority='high' to the logo img tag since it's above the fold.
