Best Practices

Prioritize Critical CSS

Inline the CSS required for above-the-fold content to improve perceived load time.

  • Defer the loading of non-critical CSS to speed up initial rendering.
  • Minify your CSS to remove whitespace and comments, and enable compression (Gzip/Brotli) on your server.
  • Regularly purge unused CSS to keep your stylesheets lean.
Performance Impact

CSS optimization can significantly improve:

  • Page load speeds
  • First Contentful Paint (FCP)
  • Core Web Vitals scores
