I recently converted several of my projects into critical CSS and now I’m outranking my competitors who still use old CSS. Say what you want but Google loves fast loading sites and gives a good rankings boost. You can whine about critical CSS or get it done and win.

> Say what you want but Google loves fast loading sites and gives a good rankings boost If you're passing your Core Web Vitals scores, there is no further ranking signal. Transcribed from a 2021 Q&A with Google engineers > beyond that point [of a good threshold for all Core Web Vital metrics], you don't get additional boost for reaching it even better. Like if you have your LCP at two seconds and you get it all the way down to one second, um, we've kind of publicly stated that that will not increase your ranking https://youtu.be/HWm6WNkHs90?t=1676 https://youtu.be/HWm6WNkHs90?t=1676
