Hi guys!

Currently working with a website to help it gather a bit more traffic, it is fully customized and optimized to the best of my ability. However, the mobile page speed seems to be the issue. We’re using the prestige theme, I have turned off animations, all image files are webp all the basics have been completed. It shows in Google Search Console our rankings for some pages have dropped significantly on mobile. Any help would be appreciated. The website is https://gracefulelegance.com.au/ if that helps at all. Thanks guys.

Hey @Callan12

I just checked your website on PageSpeed Insights and the performance score is about 63,very first thing you have to fix it LCP, in order to fix it you have to,

  • Compress hero image
  • Use correct size
  • Add preload
  • Remove un-used apps
  • Reduce js, css and api calls
  • Use WebP images
  • Enable lazy loading

If anything else causing the speed we need to check the code

Thanks

Hey @Callan12, I checked your site the main slowdown comes from heavy media files, scripts loading before they’re needed, and leftover code from unused apps still being cached. Fixing those usually makes a big difference in speed and user experience.

Hi Callan12,

Checked your profile, it seems like JavaScript code are not minified and run as per conditions
also, many things are there which is required to speed up the site
LCP issue, Image width and height settings,
prefix settings, loading JavaScript at the end.

USE GTMATRIX to identify all the issues, and then you can check the speed after resolving it as per GTMATRIX**

Thank you for the help, will get on to this straight away.

Hi, @Callan12
I’ve looked at your PageSpeed mobile report and it’s very consistent with what we usually see on Prestige builds - the issue is no longer images, it’s mainly LCP delay caused by render-blocking scripts and theme/app JS.

Here’s what actually needs fixing:
1.LCP is being delayed by the homepage hero
Your main above-the-fold element is taking too long to render.

  • Replace hero slider/video with a single static image on mobile
  • Keep layout above the fold as simple as possible

2.Too many apps / third-party scripts
PageSpeed is flagging JS blocking render.

  • Remove unused apps completely
  • Delay non-critical scripts
  • Load third-party scripts after initial render where possible

3.Render-blocking JavaScript (theme + apps)
This is slowing first paint and hurting mobile rankings.

  • Use defer for non-essential scripts
  • Keep only essential JS in initial load

4.Font delay
Minor but contributes to LCP delay.

  • Enable font swap so text doesn’t stay hidden while fonts load.
  • Reduce unnecessary font weights

On Prestige, mobile performance drops like this are almost always due to:
hero complexity + app scripts + render-blocking JS

If further improvements are needed after the main optimizations, tools like Website Speedy can be considered as an extra layer to help with mobile performance. It’s optional to use.
