 * I’ve noticed that Jetpack boost is inserting <noscript> elements in the header(
   maybe somewhere else). I do not want this for example:
 * >     ```wp-block-code
   >     <noscript><link rel='stylesheet' id='custom-google-fonts-css' href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Open+Sans:ital,wght@0,300..800;1,300..800&family=Oswald:wght@200..700&display=swap' media='all' /></noscript>
   >     ```
   > 
   >  How to have Jetoack Boost not create <noscript> elements?

 * Hi there, [@wattaman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wattaman/),
 * The script you reported is necessary for critical CSS to work without issues.
   We change the style tags in the page to make them non-render-blocking. After 
   the stylesheet files are downloaded, we modify the tags again so they can be 
   applied on the page. We do this modification using JavaScript. However, a disadvantage
   of that is that the stylesheets will not be applied at all if JS was disabled
   on the browser.
 * That’s why we have these noscripts as a backup for when JavaScript is disabled.
   By placing those, we ensure the page still shows up correctly if JS is not supported.
 * There is currently no way to remove this if they are using critical CSS.
 * Hope that answers your question!
