A script from another website is blocking your page from loading. This is a serious performance issue. You are at the mercy of the other website's server speed, and if it's slow, your page will be slow. It's crucial to load these scripts in a way that doesn't hold your own content hostage.
<script src="https://some-third-party.com/widget.js"></script>Always load third-party scripts with the `async` or `defer` attribute. `async` is often best for self-contained widgets like analytics or ads.
<script src="https://some-third-party.com/widget.js" async></script>Using `async` or `defer` tells the browser to download the script without stopping the rest of the page from rendering. This ensures that a slow third-party service doesn't ruin your user's experience on your site.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
