 * Hi [@foodculturewildlife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foodculturewildlife/)!
   
   Thanks for the report.
 * I can see that you have Minify turned off. Let’s start by Enabling minify. If
   you encounter any conflicts, disable JS minification to see if that resolves 
   it.
   In addition, disable “Generate separate files for mobile” option at **WPO
   > **_**Cache > Page cache**_. Also, enable Browser caching at _**WPO > Cache 
   > Static file headers**_.
 * Test your site again on PSI and let me know what the results are. We’ll see how
   to proceed from there.
 * Regards.

 * HELP! Now my site isn’t loading at all?!? Again this is [https://foodculturewildlife.com/](https://foodculturewildlife.com/)
 * The PSI says it’s much better- score of 84 instead of 47- though it still wants
   me to fix a number of things- can you help with those? But much much more importantly,
   my site isn’t loading at all now! I tried my computer and phone, and turning 
   off my wifi and using cellular data only, and it’s not loading! I just wrote 
   a new article and was hoping to email all my subscribers today with the new article,
   but I’m afraid to send anyone to my website right now because it’s not loading!
   What is going on?!?
 * Thank you!

 * Okay, so good news is I got my website working again! I needed to delete the 
   BlueHost plug in.
 * However, I did everything you suggested, and my PageSpeed insights score is still
   only 50 for mobile: [https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-foodculturewildlife-com/wwosrac7af?form_factor=mobile](https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-foodculturewildlife-com/wwosrac7af?form_factor=mobile)
 * What else can I do?
 * Thank you,

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the update! One thing I’m seeing that is having a big impact on the
   CLS score seems to be the preloader that your site uses. Could you try disabling
   that?
 * To satisfy the “Use Efficient Cache Lifetimes” requirement Google wants the static
   file headers to be set to at least 30 days or longer. Can you try setting the
   value to 30 days in WP-Optimize > Cache > Static File Headers, clear your page
   cache and then re-test?
 * I would recommend visiting the homepage once in another browser or Private / 
   Incognito window first just so that the cached version will be created for PageSpeed
   to use.
 * Let us know how it goes!

   a new thread.
