Prioritize visible content

    Hi,
    I get the following warning in Google Page Speed:

    ‘Prioritize visible content
    Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.
    The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.’

    Given that there’s only text above the fold, this is strange. Here’s an example: http://www.travelersuniverse.com/how-to-choose-blog-niche

    Can you please advise what’s wrong?

    Thanks!

    I’m running out of time on my day so I may respond more later. But in general you would honestly need to ask google why they there tool is giving you the results they are 🙂

    I don’t know there entire algorithm but I can guess that because they are measuring off the first 14.6kB and the css file loaded at the top of the page is 48kb I would assume that is the connection the tool is making. That is not accounting for the social sharing plugin loading a script at 60.3 kB or even jquery which is 33kb..

    I just feel like it’s good to remind you that google.com (with nothing but the search bar) gets this same notice: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=google.com

    Thanks! Could it also be because of the big chunk of CSS I have inserted in Appearance > Theme Options > Custom CSS? I’m trying to get rid of some of it but I still haven’t found a solution (I’m talking about all the CSS I use for the Page Builder panels to make them align vertically – I really don’t need that CSS to upload on every single page). Any ideas?

    Again look at google.com I doubt the css is your issue but if your looking for a way to change that you can add through a child theme style sheet then it will load and be fully cached, cached css sheets are better then unchached extras on one page. But you can use a page by page plugin if you prefer to do that: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/oh-add-script-header-footer/
