“Eliminate render-blocking CSS in above-the-fold content”

Question

I\'ve been using Google PageSpeed insights to try and improve my site\'s performance, and so far it\'s proven extremely successful. Things like deferring scripts worked beau

Answer 1

I too have struggled with this new pagespeed metric.

Although I have found no practical way to get my score back up to %100 there are a few things I have found helpful.

Combining all css into one file helped a lot. All my sites are back up to %95 - %98.

The only other thing I could think of was to inline all the necessary css (which appears to be most of it - at least for my pages) on the first page to get the sweet high score. Although it may help your speed score this will probably make your page load slower though.
