    Render-Blocking Resources Finder FAQs

    What counts as render-blocking?+

    Any <script> in the head without defer/async, and any <link rel="stylesheet"> without media or preload tricks. The browser must download and process them before painting.

    Should I use defer or async?+

    Use defer for most third-party scripts — it preserves order and runs after parsing. Use async only for independent scripts (analytics, ad pixels).

    How do I un-block a stylesheet?+

    Inline the critical CSS for above-the-fold content, then load the full stylesheet with media="print" onload swap or rel="preload".

    Does the scanner store my URL?+

    No. Each scan is one-shot and discarded after display.

    Will fixing render-blocking really speed up my site?+

    Yes — it's one of the highest-impact wins for LCP and First Contentful Paint.
