A key stylesheet that defines the initial look of your page is being loaded late. This can cause a delay in rendering or a 'flash of unstyled content.' By preloading this CSS, you tell the browser to fetch it with high priority, ensuring your page is styled and displayed to the user much faster.
A CSS file needed for above-the-fold content is loaded without a preload hint.
Add a `<link rel="preload">` tag for the critical stylesheet in the <head> of your HTML.
<link rel="preload" href="/css/critical-styles.css" as="style" onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'">
<noscript><link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/critical-styles.css"></noscript>Preloading ensures your critical CSS is available sooner, allowing the browser to paint the page much faster. This directly improves your First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores.
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.
