Quick summary
A performance review note about auditing a builder-based WordPress site, tightening visible spacing, and documenting deeper structural speed limits.
The problem
The site had design and performance concerns tied to builder output, theme architecture, repeated assets, and main-thread constraints.
What I checked
- Theme and plugin architecture
- Builder-driven layout behavior
- Loaded assets and repeated background images
- Lighthouse performance and accessibility audit results
- Frontend spacing, sizing, and visual consistency
What I changed
- Tightened homepage spacing and sizing for a more consistent layout
- Identified repeated oversized background image usage
- Reviewed main-thread performance constraints
- Documented which gains were limited by the current builder and theme structure
- Outlined that major Lighthouse improvements would require deeper structural rebuilding
Result
The immediate layout polish improved while the larger performance limits were documented before overpromising small theme tweaks.
What I'd watch next
- Whether repeated background assets can be replaced or resized
- Whether critical pages deserve a lighter rebuild
- Whether plugin updates add more global assets
