Page Load Speed - SEO issues

[sorengen]

Hi All,

I have created a website for a client using Xara Designer Pro X. Their SEO Marketing team has run a GTmetrix report (attached) and wants answers to the questions below. I do not have a clue about this... if you can help I'd be very grateful!

I quote them...

"Page Load Speed Observations:

1. The initial page load is held up by render-blocking libraries of CSS and JavaScript. Is there a way for us to either combine these into a single call, defer them to not be render-blocking, or optimize them in any way? For reference - https://www.screencast.com/t/8g3HqEXq

2. Is there a way to leverage a more efficient*caching policy to cache these assets for return users?

3. Leveraging sprites for iconography. For reference - https://www.screencast.com/t/3eMWGZV11W"

Thanks in advance!
