3rd Party Scripts: Google Tags
If you do not use or want to use Google Tag Manager because you are only using google services you can combine your Google tag calls into one.
Example Combine Two /gtag/js into one snippet.
Before
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-123456-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-123456-1');
</script>
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Ads: 1234567890 -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-1234567890"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'AW-1234567890');
</script>
After
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-123456-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-123456-1');
gtag('config', 'AW-1234567890');
</script>
It’s as simple as that. For a more complex example see this.
Hey Team,
@Morgan and I just had a good talk with Matt Curtis, and we would love to get his homepage looked at:
https://www.mattcurtisrealestate.com/
@JayPhee Absolutely! Do you know if Matt Curtis has an REW Forum account we can tag him in?
Currently we have a score of about 58 on page speed insights for mobile for https://www.mattcurtisrealestate.com/, so we’d love to look into opportunities to help increase that.
Thanks, Jason!

Hi @sjyun, Matt Parent and I are excited to start your WPO review! We ran a PageSpeed insight report and we believe the following are the best opportunities to increase your WPO score!
- Opportunity: Image Optimization
- Recommendation: Convert to WebP format, compress, Lazy loading hidden images, properly size images
- Opportunity: Reduce JavaScript execution time
- Recommendation: Consider performance impact and determine if any aren’t necessary or can be only loaded on certain pages.
- Opportunity: Live chat can use 3rd party facade
- Recommendations: Ensure using the live chat is really necessary
We’ll get started to address these optimizations, once we’ve got an update with an improved score we’ll let you know!

Hi @mattcurtis, keeping a fast website is important for SEO! @carlo_nayve and I are thrilled to report back some significant WPO performance gains made on your site today!
The following changes outlined below have been made to help increase your site performance. Please note that score improvements represent mobile performance results.
Image optimization and serve images in Webp format
We noticed several uploaded images were much larger in pixel density than the actual size rendered on the page. This was especially true in the testimonials section. We typically want to avoid images larger than 500KiB (0.5MB) to ensure web performance is at its best.
WebP is a superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web that will certainly make your website faster. WebP is 26% smaller than regular PNGS and 34% smaller than JPEGS. We converted images to WebP and made some great performance gains.
Lazy Loading Assets:
Lazy loading is a technique to reduce performance strain and only load resources when they are visible to the user. We have applied Lazy loading to all your homepage images. Now your images will only load when visible to the viewport and can help add some reductions in network load.
Scripts:
Some scripts will require extra attention as they do create a significant load. When we removed your scripts your score jumped a total of 20 points (from 61 to 81). However, it is not recommended to remove them if they are essential to your business.

Thank you, and we hope you enjoy your new WPO!
