CSS Sprites
-
I have 6 social icons linked from the header area of my site and I am trying to replace them with a CSS Sprite but cannot get it to work. The current icons are located in a header widget area of my theme through a text box. When I add the new html in the text box and the CSS in the style sheet, the sprite does not show up. Are there any good tutorials on this subject?

Content that's behind CSS..
For content that's been loaded onto the page.. but it requires a click for it to be revealed.. as in a slider, or a tab, to save space or for a page's organization.. what are your thoughts on Google counting or weighting this content? It would make sense for Google to give it partial or no weighting as if Google attributes the content to being there, its confusion for the user to land on the page and have to find it/click around to find it.. Sorry if this is an obvious question to SEOs.. I've always assumed as long as it was loaded, it'd be mostly counted.. but I'm beginning to doubt my assumption. Thanks!

Eliminate render-blocking CSS in above the fold content with shopify
Hello, It seems that my shopify website needs to eliminate render-blocking CSS in above the fold content to get better mobile speed and I don't see or find anything about how this could be done. I have succeeded with a wordpress site but the way things are restricted with shopify, I have not been able to do the same. The other thing would be to leverage browser caching which I have no clue how it can be done with shopify either. Thanks!

Optimize CSS Delivery
Hi, I am loading 3 CSS files here: http://www.viatrading.com/wholesale/9/Domestics.html PageSpeed is telling me I "should fix" the delivery of these CSS Files (see image). I read https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/OptimizeCSSDelivery , but can't figure out which is my case. The CSS are big, but even if I split them in several, all CSS files are still showing up as render-blocking. I moved them to the header/footer, but the message is still appearing. Do you know what might be the problem and how to solve it? Thank you, Screen_Shot_2015_09_10_at_4_44_23_PM.png

Having a terrible time ordering the CSS Styles and Scripts in my header
Hi Guys, I am having a terrible time trying to get the correct optimized (for speed, none blocking etc) order for loading my external css and JS. I follow the recommendations from Google Page Speed or Chrome Audit and it seems no matter where I move the CSS file too (top or bottom) it complains about more blocking and stopping rendering of the page. My URL is http://www.MyFairyTaleBooks.com if some smart person out there could help me figure out what I am doing wrong and the order in which my should be organized I'd appreciate it! Oh I'm not a developer but I can re-arrange text in a file! 😉 Thank you!

Does css float affect SEO?
It is generally believed that the closer the content is to the top of the page, the better it is for SEO. If that's incorrect, please let me know. I have a 2 column site where the left menu is navigation and right side is content. Obviously, the left menu appears in the code before the content does, but I can flip them around via css float. If I do that, the content will appear on the left visually, even though in the code it still comes after the left side navigation. Do either positions affect seo?

CSS family names and whitespace
A CSS validation notes the following: Family names containing whitespace should be quoted. If quoting is omitted, any whitespace characters before and after the name are ignored and any sequence of whitespace characters inside the name is converted to a single space. Not sure what this means or how to fix. Help. thanks

Will google see you bold/emphasis words if done in css?
We do not use header tags in our website. I understand bolding or emphsising words can be equally as effective but if done so in css will the google crawlers and spiders etc be able to put a weighted value on this style of code???
