FontAwesome CSS files contain 99% unused code, wasting 25KB of network resources.
Use Font Awesome subsetting to include only needed icons. Install Asset CleanUp Pro to disable FontAwesome on pages that don't need it. Consider replacing with lightweight icon fonts or SVG sprites.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 63/100, primarily due to extremely slow loading times where users wait over 9 seconds for the page to become fully interactive. The biggest problem is render-blocking CSS files that delay initial page rendering by over 2 seconds, combined with oversized images that are much larger than their displayed dimensions, wasting 354KB of bandwidth. The site also loads 178KB of unused JavaScript from Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts that aren't needed immediately. Fixing these CSS blocking issues, properly sizing images for their display dimensions, and deferring unnecessary JavaScript could dramatically improve loading speed and boost the performance score by 30+ points.
Why It Matters:
CSS files are blocking initial page render, delaying First Contentful Paint by 2.2 seconds.
How to Fix:
Install WP Rocket or Autoptimize to defer non-critical CSS. Inline above-the-fold CSS for Elementor widgets. Move background CSS loading to after page load using async loading techniques.
Why It Matters:
Images are 354KB larger than needed, directly impacting LCP with 600ms delay.
How to Fix:
Generate responsive image sizes for carousel items (380x475 actual vs 1080x1350 served). Use WordPress srcset attributes or install WP Smush Pro for automatic responsive images. Consider lazy loading carousel images beyond first visible item.
