Add Media Attributes to Stylesheets for Conditional Loading

Performance Analyzer

What is this warning?

A stylesheet on your page is loading unconditionally, even though it might only be needed for specific media types (like print or specific screen sizes). Adding appropriate media attributes can prevent unnecessary CSS from blocking the rendering of your page.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

<link rel="stylesheet" href="print-styles.css">

The Solution

Add a `media` attribute to specify when the stylesheet should be applied.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="print-styles.css" media="print">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mobile-styles.css" media="(max-width: 768px)">

Why This Works

Media attributes prevent stylesheets from blocking rendering when they're not immediately needed, allowing the browser to prioritize critical CSS and display content faster.
