Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 44/100, indicating significant user experience issues. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS files that are delaying the page's initial display by over 3 seconds, particularly from Elementor page builder assets. The site also suffers from extremely slow loading times with the largest content taking 18.4 seconds to appear and the page not becoming fully interactive for nearly 24 seconds. Immediate fixes should focus on deferring or inlining critical CSS, optimizing oversized images that could save 412 KB, and removing unused JavaScript that's adding 501 KB of unnecessary code - these changes alone could improve the performance score by 30+ points.
Why It Matters:
Render-blocking stylesheets delay First Contentful Paint by 3.0 seconds and prevent users from seeing content.
How to Fix:
Use a WordPress caching plugin like WP Rocket to inline critical CSS. Move non-critical Elementor stylesheets below the fold using 'media=print onload=this.media=all'. Consider combining multiple small CSS files into one optimized file.
Why It Matters:
Poor cache headers waste 427 KiB on repeat visits and delay LCP by 1.6 seconds for returning users.
How to Fix:
Add cache headers via .htaccess or use WP Fastest Cache plugin. Set long expiration times (1 year) for static assets like fonts and images. Configure your CDN or hosting provider to serve assets with proper cache-control headers.
