Wordpress, I've been looking into ways to cut down render‑blocking resources for a lean front end. Have you tried extracting the critical path and inlining CSS in your themes?

Sure thing, I’ve been doing that all the time. Pull the CSS that’s needed for the first paint, inline it right in the head, and let the rest of the styles load asynchronously. Keeps the initial load snappy and the page still looks great. Just watch out for caching – you don’t want the inlined chunk to get stale when you update the theme. It’s a tiny tweak that pays off big time.

Sounds solid, just make sure you version the inlined block so the browser can cache it separately from the rest of the CSS. That way you keep the speed gains without risking stale styles.

Good point – bump a version query on the inline string or use a data‑attribute hash so the browser sees it as a new resource each time the critical CSS changes. Keeps caching clean and the first paint fast.

Nice, that keeps the pipeline tight and the front‑end lean. Good plan.
