Analyse my site for freeHow TheSiteFuse checks "Inline critical CSS"
Critical CSS (above-the-fold CSS) is the minimal style needed to display the visible part of the page without scrolling. By embedding it directly in a <style> tag in <head>, the browser can display the initial content without waiting for external CSS files to download. Full CSS files can then be loaded asynchronously.
