Preload CSS and don't block the DOM with your CSS file request.

  </script>

Is it possible to place the script tag's content into an external js file and then link it to the html?

@AliAlmasi you could but then it would require the browser to call and parse this file. The difference is not that big but it's still a call to load a file vs the JS being executed from the file.
