The request

“I ran a PageSpeed analysis and it's flagging unused JavaScript and render-blocking resources. I've got a lot of SEO work to do and speed is the foundation. Can you clear those two?”
Typical request
Paraphrased from merchant tickets in this category

The brand knew which warnings mattered and wanted a targeted fix, not a full audit.

02

The approach

We identified which scripts were loading without being used and removed or deferred them, then reordered the remaining resources so the page paints before non-critical scripts run. Both warnings cleared.

03

What we shipped

  • Unused scripts removed or deferred
  • Render-blocking resources reordered
  • Both PageSpeed warnings resolved
  • Before and after documented
