AFter running the Google Speed test and another one, it gives e suggestion on how to fix the speed. One of the suggestions is to "Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content." some of the points have Generate press in them (see below). Do you have any suggestions to fix this? Thank you.

Optimization Suggestions
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 2 blocking script resources and 7 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.
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

This is from pingdom website speed tester:

Resources with a "?" in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:

Moving those resources to the footer would make your entire website load without any styling, and then "flash" to the actual styling of the website once those resources are reached in the footer.

In my opinion, that's poor UX and should be avoided. Instead, work on getting your page speed as fast as possible. Better UX = better rankings.

Thanks Tom.

No problem! :)
