Fixing Render Blocking Javascript and CSS in the Above-the-fold content
-
We don't have a responsive design site yet, and our mobile site is built through Dudamobile. I know it's not the best, but I'm trying to do whatever we can until we get around to redesigning it. Is there anything I can do about the following Page Speed Insight errors or are they just a function of using Dudamobile?
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 5 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
- http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ckage.min.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…pts/blogs.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
- http://fonts.googleapis.com/…:400|Great+Vibes|Signika:400,300,600,700
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ont-pack.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04

Thanks for any tips,

there is not a very easy way to modify HTML on WordPress because it is all based on PHP. Unless you can change the PHP code via by FTP or many other methods including plug-ins it takes a developer.
I know a person who could fix this for you very easily there contact information is in the URL under contact. There are also some plug-ins that will eliminate this

the best methods in my opinion are done by a developer or sometimes a plug-in

Use this to make a critical render path
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/critical-render-path.html
with
http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/css/ (for CSS)
this for JS
http://javascript-minifier.com/
If you add this it will fix this as well

Actually, I have a quick follow up. In my wp-admin in the editor section, I only see CSS and PHP files. Then, on the ftp, I see a public_html folder, but that folder has a ton of different files in it...none of which end in html. Any suggestions on where this html file might live?
Thanks,
Ruben

I will take a look at it. Yes, I do need to do it on our Wordpress site as well, but fortunately, Page Speed Insights doesn't think our desktop version is as abysmal as our mobile one. But, it does still show up as something that should be fixed.
Thanks for the reference material!

you will also need to find your Cardinal path and simply combine JavaScript and CSS as well as prioritize content that is above the fold. By doing so this will help you to create one JS file ( possibly more if it is impossible to combine for whatever reason)

Hi Ruben,
Here is a tutorial on how to fix that issue. If I could explain it better than this I would however I feel this does a fantastic job if you're doing this on WordPress let me know and I will tell you how to fix it on there is well.
Here's the resource
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/render-blocking.html
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/defer-loading-javascript.html
The below code is what Google recommends. This code should be placed in your HTML just before the tag (near the bottom of your HTML file). I highlighted the name of the external JS file.
sincerely,
Thomas

Content Migration & cost of moving pages
Hope you are all having a great day! I am wondering if anyone would be able to provide general feedback. I work for a medium size company in Chicago. Currently our site is static html and we are seeking to migrate to Wordpress. After speaking with a number of website companies and receiving proposals, I am trying to understand if there is an approximate going rate or range for moving content from static html to a CMS like Wordpress? i.e. a cost per page? We don't have any dynamic content. Most of our pages are text and images. The site itself, including the blog is around 220 pages. Thanks in advance for any insight or resources!

Given the lastest Google update, should I rewrite my Flash site or try to present an alternative HTML/CSS site?
I have a site that was created using Flash. The reasoning behind this was, at the time, that I didn't care if the site ranked or not (portfolio site). Now I would like to drive traffic to the site from SE's. Given the Penguin update, should I rewrite my Flash site in HTML/CSS or present an alternative site for bots and browsers that don't support Flash? My concern is that by presenting an alternative site to bots and non Flash supporting browsers that the SE's will see potentially see this as cloaking. Thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.

Content Stacking - CSS positioning
I was curious to know what everyone thinks about CSS positioning so that the spiders will read a optimal bulk of content first - before it reads the others. Say I have some Tab's set up for navigational purposes, where the content in the last tab is actually what I want the bots to see first. What would be the best practices for accomplishing something like this?
