Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 62/100, primarily due to severe loading delays affecting Core Web Vitals. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS and JavaScript resources that are preventing the page from displaying content quickly, causing a painfully slow First Contentful Paint of 4.2 seconds and Largest Contentful Paint of 10.1 seconds. The site is loading 178 KB of unused JavaScript (mainly from Google Analytics/Tag Manager) and has numerous CSS files blocking the initial render, which could save over 3 seconds if properly optimized. Additionally, oversized images are wasting 315 KB of bandwidth, and the absence of proper font loading strategies is adding another 100ms delay, all contributing to a sluggish user experience that likely hurts both engagement and search rankings.
Why It Matters:
Critical render path is blocked by 3.15 seconds, severely delaying First Contentful Paint and visual page loading.
How to Fix:
Use WP Rocket or Autoptimize to inline critical CSS and defer non-critical stylesheets. Remove unused Font Awesome CSS (99% unused) through Asset CleanUp plugin. Preload essential fonts like DMSans with <link rel='preload'> tags in WordPress header.
Why It Matters:
Oversized carousel images waste 315KB and delay LCP by 300ms due to inappropriate dimensions.
How to Fix:
Install ShortPixel to automatically generate responsive image sizes for WordPress. Add explicit width/height attributes to G2 badge images to prevent layout shifts. Enable WebP conversion and set fetchpriority='high' on the hero banner image through your theme's functions.php.
