Super-fast-loading websites

That is due to how they include the JS code.

If you include and initiate the JS code at the top of the page, then the browser will execute the code before it continue downloading and rendering the rest of the page. (To clarify, if you add the JS code at the middle of the code, then the browser will render up to that point, then render the JS code, before it continue with the rest.)

Many thanks for the simple explanation.

I now remember a post from @Black_Max about delaying rendering of the top menu/logo div and to ensure the SEO page content was called before the menu text.

His technique was:

1. create a blank menu/logo placeholder at the top of the page
2. store the actual menu/logo content just before </body>
3. use position:fixed; top:0; left:0 fill in the reserved space.
