How to optimize myworks.software
497 KiB of unused JavaScript and 25 KiB of unused CSS are delaying page load by 1.52 seconds.
Use Asset CleanUp Pro to disable unused plugins on specific pages. Remove legacy JavaScript polyfills since modern browsers don't need them. Audit FontAwesome usage and load only required icon sets instead of the complete library.
A score of 50 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.
This site is slower than approximately 35% of similar sites. The main issues affecting performance are image optimization, JavaScript execution time, and layout stability.

This WordPress site has poor performance with a score of 50/100, indicating significant user experience issues. The biggest problem is excessive unused JavaScript (497 KiB) from third-party scripts like HubSpot chat and Google Analytics, which is severely impacting loading times and contributing to an extremely slow Largest Contentful Paint of 18.8 seconds. The site is also suffering from inefficient caching policies, render-blocking CSS files, and forced layout reflows from embedded widgets. Cleaning up unused JavaScript, implementing proper caching headers, and deferring non-critical scripts could dramatically improve performance by several seconds and boost the score by 30+ points.
Why It Matters:
Poor caching wastes 424 KiB and delays LCP by 1.95 seconds, especially impacting Facebook Pixel and font resources.
How to Fix:
Install WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache to set longer cache lifetimes for static assets. Configure browser caching headers to cache JavaScript files for at least 7 days and fonts for 30 days. Use a CDN like Cloudflare to serve cached content globally.
How to Fix:
Replace the current EmbedSocial implementation with a lazy-loaded version that loads after initial page render. Move the widget JavaScript to load asynchronously using async or defer attributes. Consider server-side rendering for critical review content instead of client-side JavaScript.
