How can I reduce render-blocking resources on my website?

Asked on Nov 25, 2025

Answer

Reducing render-blocking resources is crucial for improving your website's loading speed and enhancing user experience. This involves optimizing how CSS and JavaScript files are loaded to prevent them from delaying the rendering of the page.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <link rel="preload" href="styles.css" as="style" onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'">
    <noscript><link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"></noscript>

    <script async src="script.js"></script>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use "preload" to load critical CSS files early without blocking rendering.
Apply "async" or "defer" attributes to non-critical JavaScript to prevent blocking.
Consider inlining critical CSS for above-the-fold content.
Audit your site with tools like Google Lighthouse to identify render-blocking resources.
