Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice if the performance score from Pagespeed Insights was higher for mobile devices. Even though the desktop performance score is 93, the mobile performance score is only 54.

Describe the solution you'd like Looking at the Pagespeed advice, it seems the stylesheets are blocking render time on mobile. There may be a way to reduce the performance drop this has on mobile.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternative academic websites like the Hugo templates have better performance scores on mobile.
