welcome
I purchased the generate press template in hopes of improving my Google Speed rating

But it all fumigated after using the template
I did not get the desired result
Is there a solution to reach the goal

I am currently using wp rocket
And when adding the Autoptimize extension, a conflict occurred between them

Hello there, I am learning more about website speed, after checking your page I notice one thing, “/wp-content/uploads/generateblocks/” this part of your site is indexable and also followed. I guess this part should not be indexable.

[Elhosseyn]

Hi
Why should not be indexable
Do I block it with robots.txt

[David]

Theres a couple of improvements you can make.
The first one i recommend is to load the Google Fonts locally:

Tab Targets fonts should be at least 16px – at least it was for me. The default in the starter theme I customized was 15px. Changed it to 16px and that issue went away this includes lists – numbered or not. Clickable menu items in my footer were also too close together by default so adding left padding to each fixed that for me.

These fonts are killing performance as they’re hosted at google.

These are blocking page rendering by about 250ms on my end:

/wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/style-rtl.min.css?ver=511a9fee9e18a2f76b924faf32a01d04

/wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/css/main-rtl.min.css?ver=3.2.4
/wp-content/cache/min/1/wp-content/uploads/generateblocks/style-154.css?ver=1674417138
/css?display=swap&family=Tajawal%3A200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C700%2C800%2C900&display=auto&ver=3.2.4

Don’t minify and combine js in WP Rocket if you have that turned on. Websites with heavy js usage tend not to play well with them combined and minified. Combined and minified CSS usually works just fine in my experience.

For a site with no CDN yours really isn’t that bad. Numbers at pagespeed insights don’t paint the whole story. Run their website on their own tool and you’ll understand what I mean.

Thanks for the input Scott

Regarding the issues you state here:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/pagespeed-scores/#post-2505149

Are generally reported if Google bot cannot or did not load all the necessary resources to render the page correctly.
This can happen for various reasons, if your run a Mobile Friendly test and it fails, check the Info tab, it will tell you what resources could not be loaded, and it ill generally label it with one of the following errors:

1. robots.txt
Make sure the /wp-content/ folder is not blocked.
And neither are .css or .js files

2. server errors eg. 404, 503 etc.
Address the specific server error

3. Other
This is very common. It generally occurs when google could not allocate enough crawl quota to test your site.
Retest the site at a later time.
If it comes up regularly look to further optimize your site to minimize this.
