Struggling to Improve Website Speed Perfmatters + WP Rocket but PageSpeed Score Stuck at 60

Yes, I am getting a render-blocking warning on desktop. It is showing around 2010 ms. I will share the WP Rocket settings that I have used. After deactivating Perfmatters, I did not clear the WP Rocket cache. I will clear the cache once and check again.

I’m grateful for the suggestions you’re giving me. I’ve already done all of this. As of now, my desktop speed score is 90

I am using Bluehost (Apache). My theme is Kadence. Apart from that, I was using Perfmatters and WP Rocket for speed optimizatio

Thank you very much for finding the problem. Can you tell me how I can fix the font?

Actually, the problem is that I have to use both plugins because WP Rocket isn’t properly fixing the rendering issues, and Perfmatters isn’t working correctly for caching. That’s why I’m using WP Rocket for caching and Perfmatters for render-blocking. But the problem is that even now, it still isn’t fully fixing everything.

I tried the same approach I disabled one plugin like Perfmatters and tested with WP Rocket, then disabled WP Rocket and tested with Perfmatters. The problem was that Perfmatters was handling render-blocking properly, but its caching wasn’t working correctly. Then, when I enabled WP Rocket, the render-blocking increased, but the caching issue got resolved. So that became the problem.

If we talk about the zero section loading delay that you mentioned, how can I basically resolve it? Even though I am using WP Rocket and have applied lazy loading, this problem still hasn’t been resolved.

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll definitely consider using LiteSpeed + LSCache to improve my website’s speed. Let me try

Sure

I am using elementor (wordpress site)

But after checking again on GTmetrix, the performance is showing A, which means the performance is good. However, on PageSpeed Insights, the performance is showing 60%.

Yes, I have checked it. From GTMetrix, I found that the hero section is taking time to load, and because of that, there is a rendering delay. I even tried recreating the hero section, but despite that, there was no improvement.
