My WordPress homepage is taking far too long to render and it’s hurting both user experience and conversions. The slowdown is evident right from first paint: heavy hero images, video banners, several JavaScript-based plugins, and even the overall layout all seem to be dragging their feet. Product, blog, and other inner pages behave normally; the problem is isolated to the front page. Here is what I need done: • Run a full performance audit (GTmetrix, Lighthouse, or your preferred stack) to pinpoint the exact bottlenecks in images/videos, scripts/plugins, and layout rendering. • Optimise or replace the offending assets—compress and properly size imagery, defer or async non-critical JS, trim unused CSS, and streamline the template hierarchy if necessary. • Configure best-practice caching and minification (object cache, page cache, CDN rules if relevant) without breaking current functionality. • Hand back a clean changelog so I can see what was touched, plus before-and-after test results that show measurable gains—ideally sub-2-second Largest Contentful Paint on the homepage. The site runs on the latest stable WordPress build with typical PHP/MySQL hosting; I can provide SFTP and WP-Admin credentials as soon as we agree on the plan.
