# Stylesheet loading causing 'flashing' issues on load

 * I responded to the resolve topic: “First Tab POPS UP on page load” and then realized
   I should start a new thread.
 * I am having the same problem with my site where the tabby style is not loading
   first or quickly enough – and it’s just started happening recently. I’m not sure
   if it is related to the WordPress upgrade or not.
 * I tried copying the tabby.css into the style.css of my child theme, but that 
   doesn’t seem to help. It doesn’t necessarily occur the first time the page is
   loaded, but if I go between the two pages that use Tabby, you see the flashing.

 * It looks like this flash is due to the delay in the stylesheet being loaded. 
   I have not been able to reproduce this on a test site with the pinboard theme,
   so it may be due to the response or configuration of the server your site is 
   hosted on. It looks like the static css files are being reloaded where they should
   be cached in the browser.
 * You do have an amount of CSS and js inline in your page, if the tabby styles 
   are brought inline also (eg using a custom css plugin) that might prevent the
   delay in loading.

 * Or maybe I need to move that inline CSS out, which is probably the appropriate
   thing to do.
 * Thanks!

 * I have this flashing issue as well! I tried adding the following CSS to my theme’s
   stylesheet but it didn’t seem to get applied to the page in time to prevent the
   flashing.
 *     ```
       h2.responsive-tabs__heading {
       opacity: 0;
       }
   
       @media (max-width: 767px) {
       h2.responsive-tabs__heading {
       opacity: 1;
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * Any tips you can provide would be great!

 * Hey Beckyjane87,
 * I did not have much luck with this myself. I tried to make sure that my page 
   did not have much/any inline formatting – but it still does flash the full page
   and then after a moment, goes to tabs.
 * Sorry that I am not much help!
