My WordPress site runs the Seraphinite Accelerator plugin and, on the front-end, pages appear to load fine. However, every external speed audit now stalls: Google PageSpeed caps me at ±30/100 on mobile and abandons the desktop run altogether, while GTmetrix no longer finishes the scan that used to return an A grade.

The slowdown started after I tweaked a few Seraphinite settings; no core updates, theme swaps, or major plugin installs happened in that same window. Because of this, I need you to zero-in on why these testing tools time-out even though real-world visitors still reach the site without errors.

What I expect from you
• Identify the exact configuration or asset that blocks PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix from completing their analysis.
• Correct those issues within Seraphinite Accelerator so the tests run to completion.
• Once the root problem is fixed, fine-tune the plugin to bring scores back into the 90 + range we enjoyed previously—all without breaking any of the new content I added.

Acceptance criteria
1. Both PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix finish their scans.
2. Mobile and desktop scores are restored to high performance levels (ideally 90/100 or equivalent GTmetrix grade).
3. No visual or functional regressions appear across the site after your changes.

You’ll have full access to WordPress and the current Seraphinite settings. Let me know if you need temporary FTP or hosting panel credentials for deeper diagnostics.
