💡 Tip: Optimization Starts with the Small Stuff 🌸

This week, I hit a new performance milestone:
📱 Mobile: 89
💻 Desktop: 99 🚀

After plenty of testing, I finally figured out how to delay all scripts without reCAPTCHA disappearing — and disabling JS/CSS combine also improved my PageSpeed score.

But I didn’t stop there!
I also deep-cleaned my keyboard (every single key!) to start the week fresh and focused. 🧼

💡 Tip: Small improvements — digital or physical — create big results over time.

💥 It’s been a week of my optimization journey!

My mobile performance score is still 55, even after enabling CDN.
I use QUIC.cloud CDN (from LiteSpeed) and already changed my name servers for the CDN setup.

📉 The score hasn’t improved yet — but here’s the good news!
On GTmetrix, my grade improved from B to A after enabling QUIC.cloud. 🎯

That’s a great sign that my site’s optimization is moving in the right direction, even if Lighthouse hasn’t caught up yet.

🌐 I’ll also be adding a new guide on setting up QUIC.cloud CDN to my Digital Vault soon. Stay tuned!

⚙️ Optimization in Real Life: When Fixing One Issue Creates Another

I recently optimized my homepage for mobile and achieved perfect 100s in Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO 🌸

But then — my Performance score dropped to 55 after changing LiteSpeed’s Load JS Deferred option.

When JS loading was Delayed, WPForms reCAPTCHA didn’t load, stopping form submissions completely.
Setting it to Deferred fixed that… but slowed the site down.

Instead of removing the reCAPTCHA, I’m aiming to balance security + speed — and bring my score back to 90+.

Next in my Digital Vault guide series:
✅ Using passive listeners for smoother scrolling
✅ Improving touch target sizes for accessibility

🌟 Big news for my website! 🌟

After weeks of improving and optimizing my homepage, I re-indexed my site last night—and today I found out I’m ranking on Page 1 of Google (Top 7!) for my focus keyword. 🚀

This is a huge reminder that WordPress optimization works:
✅ Every second you shave off load time matters
✅ Every keyword placed with intention makes a difference
✅ Every tweak adds up to better results

If optimization can do this for my own site, imagine what it can do for yours.

🚀 See How I Boosted My Website Speed! 🚀

I just optimized my home page performance by focusing on the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)—my hero banner image.

In the video, I show step by step:
✅ How I used Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools to measure performance
✅ How I preloaded the LCP image with high priority
✅ Why lazy-loading the LCP image can hurt your score
✅ How adjusting LiteSpeed plugin settings helped improve the score

The result? My Lighthouse performance score jumped from 66 → 86 → 90! 🎯

💡 If you want your website to load faster and provide a better user experience, optimizing your LCP is a simple but powerful step.

🚀 Exciting milestone!

I just submitted my first WordPress plugin — BlockGlow ✨ — for review on the official WordPress.org repository.

What it does:
BlockGlow adds a "BlockGlow — Custom CSS" panel to the inspector of every block. This lets you scope custom CSS to a single block instance with ease. The plugin stores CSS in the uploads folder (uploads/blockglow/) and enqueues the generated CSS file on the front end. If the uploads directory isn’t writable or file writing fails, it gracefully falls back to inline styles.

I built this to give WordPress users more flexibility and control without cluttering their entire site’s stylesheet. 💻🎨

Now it’s in the review stage, and once approved, it’ll be freely available for the community to use and improve.

I’m so excited to give back to WordPress after 12+ years of enhancing, optimizing, and protecting websites. 💙

Stay tuned — I’ll share the official plugin link as soon as it’s live!
