    Hello,

    I'm running lighthouse page load tested against my website.  And I noticed that one thing that comes up is to eliminate render blocking resources which in my case are the composite files css and js.

    Is there any way to reduce and or eliminate the render blocking?  I am trying to reduce the size and unused css (javascript I am not going to mess with), but it would be nice if I could defer these two composite files easily.  Can anyone help with this?  I am currently on dnn972, and I have my own Telerik License - so not worried about upgrades right now.

      I'm always in doubt about this type of SEO feedback. To get rid of the message, you can go to Settings-Server-Server settings-performance and turn off minification. But if that is a smart thing to do...I tend to do a couple of speed tests to see what it really does. 

      Most of the time you gain 0.04 seconds or something like that if you clean up unused js / css. So, in 99,9% of the cases it will have no impact and the only thing you know for sure is that you have a days work and an uncertain outcome. If it is a high traffic site, it is worth the time.

        I'm kind of agreeing with Tycho.  For the most part, the only gain I've gotten from this is getting rid of the message/warning.  😆
