In line scripts and page speed? -...

I finally got my site fixed up decently, at http://www.ColoradoProcessServers.net
( using Wordpress )

and ran it at http://gtmetrix.com/reports/coloradoprocessservers.net
where it gets a nice score now, but I still have some things to learn about.

One message says:

Optimize the order of styles and scripts
B (85)
94%
CSS/JS High
What does this mean?

The following inline script blocks were found in http://coloradoprocessservers.net/ between an external CSS file and another resource. To allow parallel downloading, move the inline script before the external CSS file, or after the next resource.

Inline script block #1

So is that the java snippets I added for the acronyms on the right side of the page there?
I'm not sure if, or how I can move them, to help this.

These types of services (page speed meters) mostly use cryptic passages like,

To allow parallel downloading, move the inline script before the external CSS file, or after the next resource.


YSlow is great for this type of thing. It goes into pretty good detail about how to fix things to make your page faster. It's a Firefox extension. Look it up.

Just keep in mind, you are using Wordpress, and for that reason, you will be limited to what tweaks can be made to the header and footer of your pages. This is why there are so many page cache plugins for Wordpress.
Let's not get all hurt.

The site above actually uses it as part of their testing. I tried installing it separately in Firefox but cant figure how to use it there. But I guess I don't understand what can be done about the above problem, from your post, or are you saying that nothing can be done?

I know how to edit the headers and footers using Wordpress, if that was what you meant.
