The texts becomes distorted once engraved. But the text in Lightburn is fine. Like in this image for example, the tail in the small letter g disappears. Meanwhile, in the words “& HOSTING” becomes pinched.

Is this enough? I am a newbie. Thank you.
I don’t see anything suspicious here. Maybe try with half the speed and half the power.
I don’t have this laser. If it were me I would check for proper belt tension.
What I see in your images is that the text is too small for the power used. It looks like your text in the second pix is “over burned”.
- Reduce your power
- Choose a thinner font, like not Bold. Arial has several thin versions.
- Choose a different font. With a 10w laser, I can burn 1mm readable text in Baltic wood with the ISO9 SHX font.
- Your text is not distorted.
