Remove render blocking resource

Hi Movin,

Over the last few days I have been optimizing the site installing W3 Total Cache and doing some other customization. Google PageSpeed reports 81/100 for Desktop and 74/100 for Mobile.

All good, however I am now struggling to increase the score further, especially for mobile, because items left to deal with are removing render-blocking resources, CSS and JavaScript.

I had a look at the demo Activello and ran it through PageSpeed, and notice that this render blocking resource is already there.

Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:https://colorlib.com/…t-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.5

https://colorlib.com/…ent/themes/activello/style.css?ver=4.5.3
https://colorlib.com/…lugins/jetpack/css/jetpack.css?ver=4.1.1

The question is how can this be removed or managed without breaking or changing the site? The main area I would like to improve is the mobile rating.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Thanks for your great work.

Hi @fadill,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

These are all required scripts and styles files so we can not remove them.

You can defer loading of javascripts using following plugin.

And minify scripts and styles files using any of the below plugins.

Best Regards,
Movin
