85% of your CSS (54KB) goes unused, slowing down initial page rendering and blocking critical resources.
Install WP Rocket or Autoptimize to remove unused CSS automatically. In Divi Theme Options, disable unused modules and features. Use Asset CleanUp plugin to prevent loading Divi's FontAwesome and module fonts on pages that don't need them.
A score of 86 falls in the "Needs Improvement" range (50-89). While it is better than poor (0-49), you should aim for 90+ to provide an optimal user experience and maximize SEO benefits.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has good performance with a score of 86/100, but there's room for improvement in user experience. The biggest issue is web font loading causing layout shifts and slow content rendering - fonts are taking over 3 seconds to load, which makes text shift around the page and delays the Speed Index to 5.3 seconds. The site could benefit from optimizing font delivery (using font-display: swap or preloading critical fonts), removing 53 KB of unused CSS, and properly sizing the logo image which is 90% larger than needed. Addressing these font loading issues would eliminate most layout shifts and significantly improve the perceived loading speed for visitors.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts cause significant layout shifts (0.115 CLS score) and delay LCP by nearly 3 seconds through render blocking.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your theme's CSS. Install a plugin like OMGF (Optimize My Google Fonts) to host Google Fonts locally. Preload critical font files by adding <link rel='preload'> tags for Montserrat and Crimson Text fonts.
Why It Matters:
Your header logo loads at 768x363px but displays at 245x116px, wasting 24KB and slowing First Contentful Paint.
How to Fix:
Upload a properly sized logo (245x116px) in your WordPress Media Library. Use WebP format for better compression. In Divi Theme Customizer, replace the current logo with the optimized version. Add width and height attributes to prevent layout shifts.
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.
