Optimization of WordPress site according to Lighthouse metrics
Task: Improve website performance and achieve the "green" zone in Lighthouse (90+ points), which is considered the benchmark for optimization.
How we implemented this:
Metric analysis: We checked the main indicators of Core Web Vitals, including Largest Contentful Paint, Total Blocking Time, and Cumulative Layout Shift, to understand at which stage the site is "lagging."
Reducing page weight: We optimized styles and scripts (minification, bundling), implemented lazy loading for media. This helps users see the main part of the content faster.
Caching and compression: We configured server-side caching and enabled GZIP/Brotli, which significantly accelerated data delivery and improved the final PageSpeed score.
Image optimization: We converted images to more efficient formats (WebP) and set up adaptive loading for different devices.
Testing and verifying results: We regularly measured speed through Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights, making adjustments as necessary.
Result: the website's performance reached 90+ points on the Lighthouse scale. This means that the resource loads quickly, users find it easier to interact with the content, and search engines see high quality and reliability of the site.
