    Hi,

    I ran my website through Google Speed Test and it is showing that it has 9 blocking script resources and 11 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.

    I've tried to fix this but I'm getting nowhere, does anyone have any idea how to fix this without the use of a plugin?

    Thanks,
    John

    WOo! That's a really tough one since a lot of plugins will sometimes have your javascript or css in a position where, it needs to load before everything else.

    Sorry, I don't know any quick fixes, but those tests can sometimes be on and off. I would check out pingdom tools and run it like 3 or 4 times, also if you go on the site itself, is it loading slow? Could be server, messed up plugins...

    As long as the site is loading quickly when you go on it or your users, then I wouldn't stress too much about the blocking scripts.
