    Your plugin does a great job bringing other applications into check and overall increases the performance of page load speeds. But when trying to squeak out all speed. Can you explain how to get rid of these errors?

    Optimization Suggestions

    Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content

    Your page has 1 blocking script resources and 1 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.

    None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.

    Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

    Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content is difficult with WordPress. If you build every piece of your theme then it is possible to defer the scripts and CSS or enqueue them in the footer. The issue I usually come across is plugins. Quite often they assume that certain libraries are loaded in the head and they break if you move them to the footer. For example, if you dequeue and re-enqueue jQuery in the footer then you are likely to have issues.

    In the past I’ve managed to get this working but then my client has come along and installed some random plugin that breaks it all. With that in mind, for WordPress sites I don’t tend to worry about above the fold content. If I’m building a custom site then I will take it into consideration.
