Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has decent performance with a score of 80/100, but suffers from significant layout stability issues. The biggest problem is web fonts loading slowly and causing major layout shifts (CLS score of 0.115), which makes content jump around as the page loads and creates a poor user experience. The site is also loading 54KB of unused CSS code and has an oversized logo image that could be optimized. Fixing the font loading strategy to prevent layout shifts and cleaning up the unused CSS would be the most impactful improvements to boost both performance scores and user experience.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts are causing 0.115 CLS score by shifting text content during load, directly impacting user experience.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your theme. Preload critical fonts by adding <link rel='preload' href='font-url' as='font' crossorigin> to header.php. Use fallback fonts with similar metrics in your CSS font stack to minimize shifting.
Why It Matters:
Your logo downloads 768x363px but displays at 245x116px, wasting 24KB of bandwidth and slowing page load.
How to Fix:
Create a properly sized logo version (245x116px) in your WordPress media library. Update the Divi theme customizer to use the correctly sized logo. Enable responsive images in your theme to serve appropriate sizes for different devices.
