Google Mobile Warnings with this theme. Google is punishing sites with bad CSS.
-
Google has warned that as of today, they are punishing websites that are not fully mobile optimized.
This theme has two CSS files in it that Google considers to be bad for rendering the site, and they need to be inlined into the theme code.
Google says:
Eliminate render-blocking CSS in above-the-fold content:
Your page has 2 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/…0,500,700,800,900&subset=latin,latin-ext
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/…t-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.cssWe can’t inline these CSS files because they are coded into functions.php.
Can you fix this so that Google doesn’t punish our websites?
The theme only uses 3 icons but calls up a HUGE CSS file from here as well, which seems horrible for load times:
