Eliminate render-blocking

I created an account in the new Google Console - formerly Google Webmaster - and there were some tools designed to help you tune your website.

When I ran one of the tools, I got the following message…

What does this mean and how do I fix it? :confused:

There is a lot more information on Google, and we would be mainly copy/pasting information from other websites.

The correct search terms would be someting like “google eliminate render blocking”. Generally, you find good information when you do this - e.g. this one: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/OptimizeCSSDelivery

The JavaScript is the easier to fix - simply move it to the bottom of the page where it belongs (just before the </body> tag).

If you need to speed up the rendering of the visible part of the page further it means rearranging the CSS to inline any that would otherwise result in parts of the visible section of the page changing after the person first sees it.

Right now I have the Google Map code in my < head > tags.

Sounds like that is wrong?

I thought that is where JavaScript was supposed to go?

Most Javascript should be near </body>.
