25 WordPress fix playbooks with plugin-specific steps for 8 popular plugins. Maki only shows the ones your site actually fails.

LCPhigh impact

Your main image is lazy-loaded (LCP penalty)

LCP is a Core Web Vital. Delaying your most important image guarantees a failed LCP score.

LCPhigh impact

Your main image isn't prioritized

Telling the browser which image matters most lets it start downloading that image earlier — often saving several hundred milliseconds of LCP.

LCPhigh impact

LCP image is too heavy

Large images are the most common cause of slow LCP. Compressing and serving in modern formats (like WebP) can drastically cut download times.

Eliminate render-blocking CSS

Render-blocking resources heavily impact First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).

Reduce unused CSS rules

Downloading and parsing dead code wastes browser resources and delays page rendering.

INPhigh impact

Reduce unused JavaScript

Unused JS blocks the main thread, causing slow Interaction to Next Paint (INP) and Total Blocking Time (TBT).

Delay heavy third-party scripts

Third-party scripts often execute long tasks that block the main thread, destroying INP and TBT scores.

Google Analytics / Tag Manager is blocking the page

Every tag inside Tag Manager runs JavaScript. Several measurement IDs or a crowded container can easily add hundreds of milliseconds of blocking time, hurting INP.

YouTube, Vimeo or Google Maps embeds load immediately

Embed scripts compete with your own content for bandwidth and the main thread, hurting LCP, Total Blocking Time and INP.

Minimize main-thread work

This is the primary cause of poor Interaction to Next Paint (INP).

TTFBhigh impact

Reduce initial server response time (TTFB)

A slow Time to First Byte (TTFB) delays everything else on the page. If the server is slow, LCP and FCP are guaranteed to be slow.

Text files are sent uncompressed

Compression typically shrinks text files by 70–80%. Without it, every page takes noticeably longer to download, especially on mobile.

WooCommerce cart fragments run on every page

That request bypasses page caching and hits PHP and the database on every visit, slowing the page and loading your server.

Avoid an excessive DOM size

A large DOM slows down CSS styling, layout calculations, and JavaScript execution, hurting INP.

Ensure text remains visible during webfont load

This delays the user's ability to read your content and worsens FCP/LCP.

Google Fonts load from Google's servers

Third-party font CSS is render-blocking and adds connection time on mobile. Hosting fonts on your own domain is faster and avoids sending visitor IPs to Google (a GDPR concern in the EU).

Images are causing layout shifts

This is the #1 cause of Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).

Long chains of critical requests

Each link in the chain is a round-trip on a mobile connection. Long chains delay First Contentful Paint and LCP.

Static files have a short browser cache

Long cache lifetimes make repeat visits and multi-page sessions much faster, which improves real-user Core Web Vitals.

WooCommerce scripts load on non-shop pages

Blog posts and landing pages pay for e-commerce code they never use: extra render-blocking CSS and JavaScript the browser has to parse.

Unused Gutenberg block styles are loading

It's a render-blocking stylesheet that adds unused CSS to every page and delays first paint.

CSS or JavaScript files aren't minified

Minification usually trims 10–30% from file size. Small on its own, but it adds up across every file on every page.

It's usually render-blocking because it loads right after jQuery in the <head>, delaying first paint on every page.

Questions

Good to know.

From the guides

Is the scan really free?

Yes. You see your Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed results and the detected issues before paying anything. No account, no email.

What do I get for $9?

The full interactive WordPress fix plan: prioritized fixes, exact steps for the plugins and theme Maki detects on your site, the resources causing each problem, a progress checklist, and re-tests with a before/after comparison.

Does Maki change my WordPress site?

No. Maki never logs into your site. It tells you exactly what to change and you stay in control.

Do I need to install a plugin?

No. Maki analyzes your site from the outside using Google PageSpeed Insights and fingerprints your theme, page builder, caching and image plugins from the assets your pages load.

Which plugins does Maki give specific instructions for?

Plugin-specific steps currently cover Perfmatters, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache, Elementor, ShortPixel and Imagify. Maki also detects popular themes, page builders and other caching and image plugins; when there's no dedicated playbook for your setup, you get clear generic WordPress steps instead.

What if Maki can't detect WordPress?

You still get the free performance results, but the paid WordPress fix plan will not be offered.

Is this a subscription?

No. $9 one-time.

Does this guarantee a higher Google ranking?

No. Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal, but rankings depend on many factors. Google's field data also updates on a rolling 28-day window, so improvements take a few weeks to show up.
