Eliminate render-blocking resources

Post by spadajoker » Wed May 25, 2022 12:21 pm

hi everybody, after a check with googlepagespeed, my site scored pretty low 47% on mobile.

one of the main problems I notice is that some resources block the first view of the page, but when I go to see what these resources are I see that it is:
1- fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,regular,500,600,700,800,300italic,italic,500italic,600italic,700italic,800italic&subset=latin
2- jce editor
3- and something related to hikashop (which I use for the shop)

and too much javascript code: but its googletagmanager.

can you suggest me how to solve?

Copy the fonts to your site and load from there. Don't load the variants of the font you don't use.

A good response from Per as always.

From our experience, getting a good PageSpeed score on Mobile can be difficult when using a CMS. If you are using lots of Extensions or a poorly coded template, that (among other things) can drop your PageSpeed score.

As for Google Tag Manager there's no good way to get around that. I suggest leaving that as-is.

You could also try an Extension like https://www.jch-optimize.net/. We've had good luck using it.

If you give us some more information about which resources are blocking we may be able to give additional advice.

There are extensions that allow for loading Google fonts locally (from your server, not Googles).

This will also assist you comply (if relevant) with EU GDPR.
