The short version

Challenge
In June 2021 the home page scored 16 on Google PageSpeed mobile and 59 on desktop, with a GTmetrix grade of B (75%) and a fully loaded time of 3.4 s.
Approach
We first diagnosed the slow home page from its GTmetrix waterfall: the home page videos and third party scripts were costing more than 10 seconds. Then we installed NitroPack and switched off Autoptimize, WP Fastest Cache and WP Fastest Cache Premium.
Result
Afterwards it scored 80 on mobile and 95 on desktop, with GTmetrix A (95%) and a fully loaded time of 2.5 s.
