 * In order to optimize my website, I have to add inline CSS for above the fold (
   render blocking). This in turn makes my PageSpeed go faster on Google insights(
   dekstop), but my load speed down to about 30 seconds (far from the recommended
   under 3 sec load time).
 * How do I fix that to make both go higher?

 * You should avoid and minimize the use of blocking JavaScript, especially external
   scripts that must be fetched before they can be executed. Scripts that are necessary
   to render page content can be inlined to avoid extra network requests, however
   the inlined content needs to be small and must execute quickly to deliver good
   performance. Scripts that are not critical to initial render should be made asynchronous
   or deferred until after the first render. Please keep in mind that for this to
   improve your loading time, you must also optimize CSS delivery.
