433 KiB of unused JavaScript is blocking the main thread for 2.85 seconds and severely delaying LCP by 2.85s.
Deactivate the Gravity Forms Advanced Post Creation plugin if unused, as it loads 335+ KiB of redundant vendor files. Use Asset CleanUp Pro to selectively disable unused JavaScript per page. Configure code splitting to load only necessary JavaScript components.
A score of 53 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 53/100. The biggest problem is excessive unused JavaScript, particularly from GravityForms plugins, which wastes 433 KiB and delays your Largest Contentful Paint by 2.9 seconds to a slow 15.7 seconds. The site is also bloated with a 2.7 MB total payload and suffers from inefficient caching that could save an additional 32 KiB. Removing or deferring unused JavaScript, especially the duplicate vendor files, and implementing proper caching policies could dramatically improve your score and user experience.
Why It Matters:
Page redirects are adding 9.75 seconds to both LCP and FCP, creating an extremely poor user experience.
How to Fix:
Check your WordPress .htaccess file and remove unnecessary redirect rules. Update internal links to point directly to final URLs. Use a redirect checker tool to identify the redirect chain and eliminate intermediate redirects.
Why It Matters:
Render-blocking CSS is delaying First Contentful Paint by 2.7 seconds, preventing users from seeing content quickly.
How to Fix:
Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content using WordPress plugins like Autoptimize or WP Rocket. Defer non-critical CSS like SweetAlert2 and Intro.js stylesheets using media='print' then switching to 'all' onload. Preload essential font files to reduce layout shifts.
