Having a terrible time ordering the CSS Styles and Scripts in my header
-
Hi Guys,
I am having a terrible time trying to get the correct optimized (for speed, none blocking etc) order for loading my external css and JS.
I follow the recommendations from Google Page Speed or Chrome Audit and it seems no matter where I move the CSS file too (top or bottom) it complains about more blocking and stopping rendering of the page. My URL is http://www.MyFairyTaleBooks.com if some smart person out there could help me figure out what I am doing wrong and the order in which my should be organized I'd appreciate it!
Oh I'm not a developer but I can re-arrange text in a file!
Thank you!

Would you mind explaining to me how you are finding this information. What do I need to look for specifically? I'm having the same issues except there's 11 blocking script resources and 13 blocking CSS resources. I'm not finding too much information on searches (that I understand) nor do I understand Google's mod_pagespeed. Thank you very much. Sorry to highjack the forum. It was the only Q&A that came up in the Moz search.

Thank you seems to have cleared that one item up at least!

It seems fixed on my end, also the javascript problem is fixed too. Clear your cache and try, see this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/y93SDZScAR

Thanks! I did the move and it still complains, maybe it is the external justuno.com stuff that is really the problem?

Check it now, the editor bugged out.

Do not see anything

I did not notice this before, but it looks like you have a js error on your site. Try moving this
Right under this line
rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.myfairytalebooks.com/product_images/favicon.ico?1370451016" />

Hi Sorry,
I miss-understood, I did what you suggested and it still complains this time about 2 blocking scripts and 1 blocking css

All of the css needs to be included before the first line of javascript, including inline javascript. That is why you would move that css up to where you deleted the two lines from.
-
Where do you suggest the actual CSS include happen at the very beginning or the very end of the
-
Try taking these two lines out
http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
And moving this line to where they were
href="http://www.myfairytalebooks.com/templates/__custom/Styles/styles.css" media="all" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

Ecommerce site Header tag compulsory to follow till h6?
Hello Experts? Header tags for homepage, category, product pages is it required to be have from h1 till h6? If No...then w3c validator will give me Warning and it will never Pass my site so? Do google say h1, h2, h3..etc should be in sequence only? As per my site design I cannot define h1 always on top it can be after h2 or h3 so? h1 can be only 1 for per page but it is fine h2, h3 etc multiple for same page? At listing page to give all 30 products names as h3 is fine or it is not correct way? For ecommerce site what is the best header tags you suggest? I mean till h3 is fine or h1 also fine? Do header tags helps google in crawling ? or for ranking purpose? or header tags should be best for blog not for ecommerce site? Thanks!

Does css float affect SEO?
It is generally believed that the closer the content is to the top of the page, the better it is for SEO. If that's incorrect, please let me know. I have a 2 column site where the left menu is navigation and right side is content. Obviously, the left menu appears in the code before the content does, but I can flip them around via css float. If I do that, the content will appear on the left visually, even though in the code it still comes after the left side navigation. Do either positions affect seo?

Combining CSS
One recommendation from a page speed analysis of my site was to combine CSS (external style sheets) but after reading more on the topic others say that this is not always best. Any thoughts on either approach?

Does Google index dynamically generated content/headers, etc.?
To avoid dupe content, we are moving away from a model where we have 30,000 pages, each with a separate URL that looks like /prices/<product-name>/<city><state>, often with dupe content because the product overlaps from city to city, and it's hard to keep 30,000 pages unique, where sometimes the only distinction is the price & the city/state.</state></city></product-name> We are moving to a model with around 300 unique pages, where some of the info that used to be in the url will move to the page itself (headers, etc.) to cut down on dupe content on those unique 300 pages. My question is this. If we have 300 unique-content pages with unique URL's, and we then put some dynamic info (year, city, state) into the page itself, will Google index this dynamic content? The question behind this one is, how do we continue to rank for searches for that product in the city-state being searched without having that info in the URL? Any best practices we should know about?
