Cumulative Layout Shift
Good: < 0.1
Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has decent but improvable performance with a score of 76/100. The biggest problem is layout shifts caused by web fonts loading late, resulting in a poor Cumulative Layout Shift score of 0.142 that makes content jump around as users try to read it. The site is also suffering from slow content rendering with a 7.2-second Speed Index, primarily due to unused JavaScript (72KB) and CSS (51KB) that could be removed or deferred. Fixing the font loading strategy and cleaning up unused code could boost the performance score significantly and create a much smoother user experience.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts loading cause 0.142 CLS score, creating jarring content jumps as multiple Google Fonts load asynchronously.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all Google Font imports. Preload critical font files (Montserrat and Crimson Text) using <link rel='preload'> in WordPress header. Use fallback fonts with similar metrics to minimize shift impact.
Why It Matters:
Header logo loads at 768x363 but displays at 245x116, wasting 21KB and slowing visual completion.
How to Fix:
Generate properly sized logo variants using WordPress media settings. Configure ExactDN to serve responsive images based on display size. Set srcset attributes to deliver optimal image dimensions for different screen sizes.
