Hello there,
Although we are using the Cloudeflare CDN service with WP-Rocket plugin and the GeneratePress for all of our websites
But still got a bad Google speed scores and failed for the core vitals !!

Hi there,

the Theme is only responsible for the templated structure of the site. It has no control over the content or the code you have added to the site.

Having looked at the links - unfortunately there is no common obvious issue i can see.
Top issues i see at a glance:

A site is built with a Pagebuilder that is notorious for bad performance.
Advice: Speak to the page builder developer or look to replace it.

Lots of adverts - which unless those scripts are deferred are also terrible for performance.
Advice: reduce the number of adverts or look to defer the loading of scripts.

WP Rocket Optimized CSS Delivery ( aka Critical CSS ) unless properly configured is a common cause for CLS.
Advice: Speak to WP Rocket or disable that option.

Javascript being output inline as Base64 Encoded - which should be used for very small files, as it a) it is cannot be cached, b) its CPU intensive so bad for low power devices such as mobiles c) adds a lot of code to the HTML.
Advice: Don't do this.
