    Hi there,

    I analyzed your site using PageSpeed Insights, and the Total Blocking Time issue is primarily caused by third-party scripts, specifically Google Tag Manage and Google Ads scripts.

    To address this, consider using a caching or JavaScript optimization plugin to defer or minimize these scripts, which should help mitigate the issue.

    Thanks for your response. However, as a tech-challenge dude, I don’t know what that means. Can you recommend a plugin?

    The recommended plugin with good compatibility with GeneratePress is Perfmatters, but it is a paid plugin.

    A free alternative is Autoptimize: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/autoptimize/
