Is this a page speed problem? I just ran my site through page speed insights which is different than it used to be and the results are not good a score of 20, it used to be 89 (what is garbage collection and main thread work, are they new pc terms?)

Avoid an excessive DOM size 1,301 elements (1301 is less than 1500 according to my maths )
Browser engineers recommend pages contain fewer than ~1,500 DOM elements. The sweet spot is a tree depth < 32 elements and fewer than 60 children/parent element. A large DOM can increase memory usage, cause longer style calculations, and produce costly layout reflows. Learn more.

All of them are CMS related and out of my control, I have changed the cms to widget to follow the rules but my cms are very progressive and up to date, I do have a load speed issue because I use my country hosting so the site is built from embed code but given our very dodgy wifi my site loading in 3 or 4 seconds is fast compared to some sites.
Can you see what your scores are to see if we can find some common ground on what is going on.
