How do I Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content?

it is slowing down my site considerably

It wouldn't be possible to make changes like that to your site, @mike3, although the real-world impact of that is pretty minimal.  Google offers them as suggestions, but your site will load just fine for people even if you don't make those changes.

I also would like to fix this on my site so that it runs faster.  If I cannot fix these type of things, add alt text to gallery images and such things I will have to find a new place to host my website.  Weebly tends to just tell us that things can't be fixed or changed, but for those off us who are trying to have a successful business, those answers are just not good enough.

It seems to me that the real world impact is substantial considering that many business rely on Google to be seen in search results and Google dings our Weebly sites for certain inefficiencies (according to Google's rules) that it finds. 

So, is there an answer to the original post? Or is the answer "No?"

[Queso]

That would be a no, as it wouldn't be possible to make changes like that to your site.

Though I'm no professional SEO manager, I can't say I've seen any substantial impact from those aspects on a site's SEO, compared to more conventional factors. If eliminating that content is core to your site, however, it's not something you could do here.

Hello,

Could it be possible when I edit the html/css code? Weebly has the possibility to change this code. 

I will try to find what needs to be changed. Easier would it be if Weebly would optimize the themes so that they pass the Google test. 

Best regards,

Tjaard

Maybe? It might be possible to move a few things, but a lot of it is added when your site is rendered rather than included in templates.

Hello Adam,

Thanks for your message. I looked at resources on the internet for this issue and it is complicated. I tried a couple of things but it didn't work. So I will spend my time on other things.

Best regards,

Tjaard

Thank you for the feedback. I just completed another testmysite & just like a few of the other commenters here on the forum, I, too, had this issue reported back to me ( the exact same wording as in the subject line )

The truth it our sites are being penalized by Google for their slow speed due to our unabilty to do this and make other tweaks like Leverage Browser Cache. It is 2017 - let's go!!!

Simply add this code to your .htaccess file

## EXPIRES HEADER CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
</IfModule>

Firstly, read the question again. He was asking for weebly. Weebly does not support .htaccess file. Stop copy & paste. Read the question first then reply.

[Albecess]

So has there been an answer to this topic?
The feedback to my site performance is the same

[Bernadette3]

Unfortunately, no. I'm very sorry about that. 

[Lyz]

I can't believe it has been 2-3 years of these complaints for customers and weebly still hasnt looked into making these necessary changes. I wish i knew this prior to using weebly now i have to go elsewhere... This time I'll have to do better research before choosing, so this doesnt happen again.

[G-Gees]

I wonder, has this issue been fixed at all??
