Optimizing Page Speed: Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript

[Paradoxical Issue]

Hey guys,

 

I have been trying to optimize my new forum. I have fixed some of the issues, but I am at a bit of a loss in terms of fixing this issue: Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content.

Google PageSpeed Insight Report:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fparadoxhockey.com%2F&tab=desktop

The report states "my page has 13 blocking script resources and 12 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page"

I am nowhere near knowledgable enough to understand how to fix this issue as it seems the more I read about it, the more I get confused. Is there anyone here that could be kind enough to help me in fixing these issues of removing render-blocking JavaScript and Optimizing CSS Delivery?

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

Noah

In fact, best practice is to put all javascript before </body> tag.

There is this theme setting:

Other than that: you don’t need to “fix” everything those test speed services show you. These are hints about areas where an improvement might be possible.

I do this, but it scrambles up my slider picture / overlay. Would that just be a problem with my theme?

That’s what I meant. Not everything these tools tell you needs fixing. You might need elements to block the rendering so they will work properly.
