Your page is being slowed down by 'render-blocking' stylesheets. This means the browser has to stop everything and wait for your CSS files to download before it can show anything to the user. This delay is a major cause of slow-loading websites and can lead to visitors leaving before your page even loads.
Linking to large CSS files in the <head> of your HTML without any optimization.
A common strategy is to identify the 'critical CSS'—the styles needed for the top part of your page—and include it directly in your HTML. Then, load the rest of the CSS in a non-blocking way.
<!-- 1. Put critical CSS directly in the head -->
<style>
/* Minimum styles for above-the-fold content */
</style>
<!-- 2. Load the full stylesheet without blocking -->
<link rel="preload" href="full-styles.css" as="style" onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'">This technique allows the browser to start rendering the page almost instantly, dramatically improving the perceived load time and your Core Web Vitals scores.
