Title: Google Page Speed Test – problems Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Google Page Speed Test – problems * [supton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supton/) * (@supton) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-page-speed-test-problems/) * So I ran the google page speed test, and this was the result. * 60 / 100Speed * Should Fix: Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content Your page has 28 blocking script resources and 11 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: [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.11.2](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.11.2) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…s/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…s/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…/js/jquery/ui/position.min.js?ver=1.11.4](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…/js/jquery/ui/position.min.js?ver=1.11.4) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…ger-premium/js/jquery.print.js?ver=4.2.2](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…ger-premium/js/jquery.print.js?ver=4.2.2) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…/js/jquery/jquery.form.min.js?ver=3.37.0](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…/js/jquery/jquery.form.min.js?ver=3.37.0) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…es/js/jquery/ui/widget.min.js?ver=1.11.4](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…es/js/jquery/ui/widget.min.js?ver=1.11.4) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…udes/js/jquery/ui/core.min.js?ver=1.11.4](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…udes/js/jquery/ui/core.min.js?ver=1.11.4) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…es/js/jquery/ui/button.min.js?ver=1.11.4](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…es/js/jquery/ui/button.min.js?ver=1.11.4) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…-manager-premium/js/scripts.js?ver=4.2.2](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…-manager-premium/js/scripts.js?ver=4.2.2) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…upload/js/plupload.full.min.js?ver=4.2.2](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…upload/js/plupload.full.min.js?ver=4.2.2) [http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…plupload/jquery.ui.plupload.js?ver=4.2.2](http://www.thetranscriptionservice.co.uk/…plupload/jquery.ui.plupload.js?ver=4.2.2) * I also ran a google fetch and render and this was the result: * Googlebot couldn’t get all resources for this page.

I installed the plugin and I personally can see how quickly the pages load from a users point of view. * However, Google seems to think differently, there is no change in their assessment.
