      What are best practices for moving code into other folders to help speed up a crawling for bots? We once moved some javascript from an SEO's suggestion and the site suddenly looked like crap until we undid the changes. How do you figure our what code should be consolidated? What code do you use to indicate what has been moved and to where?

        Have you considered using Google Tag Manager?  It's much cleaner, and the scripts run asynchronously to speed up page load times.

          But isn't this really for things like Google Analytics code? The code I am talking about is stuff like CSS and Javascript that could be in external files but are not currently.

              • 72KB CSS code directly in the page header (not in external CSS file). Done for faster "above the fold" loading. Any problem with this?
