Fixing Render Blocking Javascript and CSS in the Above-the-fold content
-
We don't have a responsive design site yet, and our mobile site is built through Dudamobile. I know it's not the best, but I'm trying to do whatever we can until we get around to redesigning it. Is there anything I can do about the following Page Speed Insight errors or are they just a function of using Dudamobile?
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 5 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
- http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ckage.min.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…pts/blogs.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
- http://fonts.googleapis.com/…:400|Great+Vibes|Signika:400,300,600,700
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ont-pack.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
- http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…kage.min.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04

Thanks for any tips,

Hi Ruben,
Here is a tutorial on how to fix that issue. If I could explain it better than this I would however I feel this does a fantastic job if you're doing this on WordPress let me know and I will tell you how to fix it on there is well.
Here's the resource
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/render-blocking.html
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/defer-loading-javascript.html
The below code is what Google recommends. This code should be placed in your HTML just before the tag (near the bottom of your HTML file). I highlighted the name of the external JS file.
sincerely,
Thomas

you will also need to find your Cardinal path and simply combine JavaScript and CSS as well as prioritize content that is above the fold. By doing so this will help you to create one JS file ( possibly more if it is impossible to combine for whatever reason)

I really hope this helps,

I will take a look at it. Yes, I do need to do it on our Wordpress site as well, but fortunately, Page Speed Insights doesn't think our desktop version is as abysmal as our mobile one. But, it does still show up as something that should be fixed.
Thanks for the reference material!

Actually, I have a quick follow up. In my wp-admin in the editor section, I only see CSS and PHP files. Then, on the ftp, I see a public_html folder, but that folder has a ton of different files in it...none of which end in html. Any suggestions on where this html file might live?
Thanks,
Ruben

Use this to make a critical render path
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/critical-render-path.html
with
http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/css/ (for CSS)
this for JS

If you add this it will fix this as well

there is not a very easy way to modify HTML on WordPress because it is all based on PHP. Unless you can change the PHP code via by FTP or many other methods including plug-ins it takes a developer.
I know a person who could fix this for you very easily there contact information is in the URL under contact. There are also some plug-ins that will eliminate this

the best methods in my opinion are done by a developer or sometimes a plug-in

I will be right back and answer your other questions
