I optimized the Home & Garden Masters WordPress site for peak performance across devices. By implementing image compression and lazy-loading, minifying and deferring CSS/JavaScript, leveraging browser caching, and fine-tuning server configurations, I eliminated render-blocking resources and reduced payload sizes. These enhancements boosted the Lighthouse performance score from 68 to 97 on desktop and from 40 to 92 on mobile, resulting in dramatically faster load times, lower bounce rates, and an improved user experience—ultimately helping the site rank higher and engage visitors more effectively.
