What are render-blocking resources?
Render-blocking resources are code files a browser must load before it can show a page, which can delay what visitors see.
When a browser opens a page, some style and script files must download and run before anything appears on screen. These are called render-blocking resources. Speed tools such as PageSpeed Insights often flag them with advice like "Eliminate render-blocking resources." Fixes include loading less important scripts later, combining or shrinking files, and removing code the page does not use. This is a technical task for whoever builds your site.
