Runs just this check in quick mode. The report opens with the evidence and the fix.

Why it matters

The browser cannot paint anything until it has read the blocking resources in the head. Every one of them delays the first pixel.

How to fix it

Inline the small amount of critical CSS, load the rest asynchronously, and defer scripts that are not needed for the first view.
