I simply turned development mode on and it fixed. If I recall correctly, development mode tends to turn off automatically in 3 hrs.

I have no idea, I just know that in Google speed test my scores need to improve and my site was taking 7-8 seconds to load, now its at like 20 seconds and my stats have dropped since yesterday. It’s an e commerce site. Google gave me the warning above. I have no idea what the message above really means. When checking my stats in pingdom, most of the load time was spent loading my html files. If loading my Google font after main style sheet will kill this problem then, yes that is what I want to do. But I have no idea what that is. I am sorry for being such a noob. I have soaked in so much info in the last 2 months (which before then, i knew nothing about designing websites) it would make anyone’s head hurt. * I usually Google my issues but this one seems to have no answer. * Also could slow load time and variations in scores in google speed test be attributed to my hosting provider? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Eliminate external render-blocking Javascript and CSS in above-the-fold content](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/eliminate-external-render-blocking-javascript-and-css-in-above-the-fold-content-2/) * Thread Starter [ericplotts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericplotts/) * (@ericplotts) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/eliminate-external-render-blocking-javascript-and-css-in-above-the-fold-content-2/#post-4686019) * Also my html is taking up 50% of the load time according to pingdom.com and it needs to be at more like 10%. How do I fix this? Also server load time is not that great could this be due to the fact that I use ipage for hosting? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Eliminate external render-blocking Javascript and CSS in above-the-fold content](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/eliminate-external-render-blocking-javascript-and-css-in-above-the-fold-content-2/) * Thread Starter [ericplotts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericplotts/) * (@ericplotts) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/eliminate-external-render-blocking-javascript-and-css-in-above-the-fold-content-2/#post-4685936) * I figured out blocking javascript but im getting this message: * Your page has 2 blocking CSS resources.
