Render-blocking issues?

Weather Nerd · October 8, 2013

I did an analysis in Goggle Web Master tools. It came up with this:

Your page has 7 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.
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

Is it possible to fix? If so, I have no clue, but would be willing to try.

Nothing here is really combinable. There's one file for the skin you're using, one file for the widgets on the page, one generic file included on all pages, and one only loaded on gallery pages. Combining any one of those would result in increasing download sizes and loading times, since the same content would have to be redownloaded for different combinations.

You can ignore the Google Fonts ones because there's no way to combine those with the results from SmugMug anyway.

These CSS files are all served by CDN, so they should be incredibly rapid to load, and probably won't be a factor in the time taken to render the page (particularly when you'll be waiting on big image files to load!)

Note that this delay only exists for the very first load of a page on your site. After that, you'll drop down to about 1 CSS file being loaded per page (only if the page includes widgets with CSS).
