Website Critical CSS
This module can improve the Google PageSpeed score of individual website pages.
In particular, it improves the score for First Contentful Paint (FCP). It does so by allowing to configure a blob of ‘Critical CSS’ for each page, which is the only CSS that will be loaded before first paint. Any other CSS is delayed.
Table of contents
Usage
To use this module:
- Go to Website -> Pages and select a page to optimize
- Clear out any current contents of the ‘Critical CSS’ field
- Find out the public facing URL of this page
- Generate Critical CSS for this URL while selecting the right widths for Desktop and Mobile views
- Paste the blob in the ‘Critical CSS’ field.
To generate critical CSS you have a couple of options:
- Use a free online Critical CSS generator. At the time of writing there are: Sitelocity, Pegasaas, web.dev, Corewebvitals.io, …
- Install the npm [critical](https://github.com/addyosmani/critical) package and generate it on your local.
To test improvement of FCP score, use for example Lighthouse, which is build into Chrome browser.
Known issues / Roadmap
- Support automatic critical CSS generation when page layout is changed, when the critical tool is installed on server.
- Investigate possible incompatibility with web_company_color Both are overriding the same function in ir.qweb
