📋 Case Chart

WordPress powers 40% of the web, but 80% of WordPress sites are failing Core Web Vitals. The culprit? It's usually "features" you think you need.

1. The Page Builder Epidemic

Tools like Elementor and Divi are fantastic for design, but they come with a heavy cost: code bloat. They load hundreds of kilobytes of CSS and JavaScript that you don't use, slowing down your LCP significantly.

Clinical Note:

Jetpack: This all-in-one tool is often installed by default. While convenient, it adds significant weight. Unless you use every feature, consider replacing it with lightweight, specific alternatives.

Plugin Hygiene

Every plugin you add is another request the browser has to make. If you have "related posts" plugins, "broken link checker" plugins (which eat CPU), or multiple analytics plugins, you are suffocating your server.

2. Treatment Plan

with the native Gutenberg block editor where possible. And crucially, install a high-quality caching plugin like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache to serve static HTML instead of heavy PHP.
