URGENT Wordpress Website & Pagespeed Fixes

Hi there - Top Cert and Cert 5 PPH Freelancers

I need the following very urgent fixes for a website completed, that must be delivered within 2 days (if not even sooner - it would really impress me and likely lead to future work if you can complete in 1 day):

1. Priority number 1 is to fix a page that has a time out error and W3C validation issue (there are too many redirects)

2. Priority number 2 is to complete all the following tasks:

• Your website is not using a custom 404 error page. Default 404 error pages result in a poor experience - it can mislead users into thinking an entire site is down or broken, greatly increases the chance they leave your site entirely, and looks unprofessional. By creating a custom 404 error page, you can improve your website's user experience by letting users know that only a specific page is missing/broken (and not your entire site), providing them helpful links, the opportunity to report bugs, and potentially track the source of broken links in your site.

• Your website lacks a sitemap file. Sitemaps can help robots index your content more thoroughly and quickly. Read more on Google's guidelines for implementing the sitemap protocol.

• Your site lacks a "robots.txt" file. This file can protect private content from appearing online, save bandwidth, and lower load time on your server. A missing "robots.txt" file also generates additional errors in your apache log whenever robots request one. Read more about the robots.txt file, and how to create one for your site.
• Not all image display dimensions match the natural aspect ratio! Fix aspect ratio issues to avoid distorted images on your site.

• Not all images in this page are properly sized! You are serving images that are larger than needed for the size of the user's viewport.

- move all the inline CSS rules into an external file in order to make your page "lighter" in weight and decrease the code to text ratio.
- check the HTML code of your page and identify all style attributes
- for each style attribute found you must properly move all declarations in the external CSS file and remove the style attribute
• Reduce initial server response time
• Avoid an excessive DOM size
• Eliminate render-blocking resources

Ensure that the page speed test in PageSpeed Insights is less 3 or 4 seconds.
