Comment on Technical Support by SEO Dave.
If you run a webpage through the free Google PageSpeed Insights Tool you’ll tend to find some issues related to “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content”.
What this means is there are javascript and/or CSS files that have to load before the main content is loaded. If there are a lot of blocking CSS/js files it can cause your content to load slowly because render blocking means those js/CSS files have to load fully before the content loads.
Having render blocking scripts will not result in webpages not being indexed. A note on being indexed, do this search in Google to see what webpages on a domain are indexed:
site:example.com
I see a lot of webmasters stating their webpages aren’t indexed, when they mean aren’t ranked for a particular search phrase.
Having render blocking issues will not prevent a webpage from being indexed, but could have a small impact on being ranked.
With the Stallion Responsive theme there are render blocking js/CSS files, how many depends on features used. If you check my site (this webpage for example) : https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstallion-theme.co.uk%2Ftechnical-support%2F&tab=mobile
You will find it has just one render blocking CSS file. Unless you put all CSS inline (generally not a good idea) you will have at least 1 render blocking CSS file (that’s fine).
The blocking files you listed are not all related to the Stallion Responsive theme features:
This one is related to AdSense and probably added by Stallion.
# http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js
I don’t think the others are added by Stallion, these are related to Google services:
# https://oauth.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/js/core:rpc:shindig.random:shindig.sha1.js?c=2
# https://ssl.gstatic.com/accounts/o/3655170095-postmessagerelay.js
This one is Twitter, but don’t think it’s the code used by Stallion:
# https://syndication.twitter.com/i/jot?
None of them will cause indexing issues and minimal impact on ranking.
