Pagespeed Analysis, Reduce blocking resources...

Reduce blocking resources

(L)Optimize the order of styles and scripts

The following external CSS files were included after an external JavaScript file in http://satgraphics.com/. To ensure CSS files are downloaded in parallel, always include external CSS before external JavaScript.

• https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/…/bootstrap.min.css

• http://satgraphics.com/css/bootstrap-custom.css

I then repositioned the “bootstrap-custom.css” before the “bootstrap.min.css” and ran PageSpeed again.

Continued to receive the error, although I had made the change, which is reflected on the second report, as follows:

The following external CSS files were included after an external JavaScript file in http://satgraphics.com/. To ensure CSS files are downloaded in parallel, always include external CSS before external JavaScript.

Move the following to the bottom of your document just above the closing BODY-tag

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-112286733-1"></script>

<script>

  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}

  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-112286733-1');

</script>

Maybe I'm missing something here, but the error appears to be telling you to move both of the .css files mentioned to a position in the code before a <script> tag containing a link to a .js file.

Have you done that, or have you only reordered your two .css files as described?

Joh Fritz II,

I did only as I described. I reordered the "bootstrap-custom.css" appear before"bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css".

The only script that appears above those (named PageSpeed erro links) is that of "googletagmanager". To best of my knowledge, that GTA script is in proper position.

According to gtmetrix your images would benefit from better optimization. Use a good jpg optimization utility.

rayek.elfin,

I'm aware and in process to that end. As I'm using images sized from a previous site, I wasn't sure of which I would use and which I would discard, saving that decision for the final phase. And, since the site is image heavy it will be time consuming and mind numbing, but I'm out of excuses to procrastinate.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks Nancy,

I was getting close to accepting that I was not going to get them all. In this case, almost all will suffice.

Again,

Thank You

Just so you understand, getting a perfect score on Page Speed is impossible.  You would need to remove or defer loading all unnecessary CSS & JavaScript references until the landing page has fully loaded.  For most sites, that's not possible unless you have a separate plain vanilla landing page.
