Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site achieves a good performance score of 81/100, but several issues are holding it back from excellence. The biggest problem is excessive layout shifting caused by multiple web fonts loading late in the process, which makes page elements jump around as users try to read the content. The site is also loading 53 KiB of unused CSS code and serving an oversized logo image that's much larger than needed for its display size. Fixing the font loading strategy to prevent layout shifts and cleaning up the unused CSS would provide the most significant improvements to user experience.
Why It Matters:
Web fonts are causing significant layout shifts (CLS score of 0.115) and delaying content paint by loading late in the dependency chain.
How to Fix:
Add font-display: swap to all @font-face declarations in your Divi theme CSS. Preload critical fonts by adding <link rel='preload' as='font'> tags for Montserrat and Crimson Text in your WordPress header. Use a plugin like OMGF (Optimize My Google Fonts) to host fonts locally and reduce external requests.
Why It Matters:
The header logo is 21KB larger than needed, serving a 768x363 image when only displaying 245x116 pixels.
How to Fix:
Create a properly sized logo version (245x116 or 490x232 for retina) in your WordPress media library. Update the Divi header module to use the smaller image. Use ExactDN's resize parameters (?resize=245,116) in the image URL to automatically serve correct dimensions.
