I’m trying to maximize the performance of my blog.

Pagespeed complains a bit about everything, I’m trying to make it happy.

Adding the content of the file ghost-sdk.min.js and built / screen.css directly into the default.hbs file is a bad practice or does not involve particular annoyances? thank you

It’s not possible to disable the injection of the `ghost-sdk.min.js` file at the moment due to backwards-compatibility although we hope to be able to remove it as a breaking change in Ghost 3.0.

We are looking at ways to improve it’s effects on performance audits in the meantime.

Thanks for the reply,  
I read this post and I tried to enter the code directly, I have not found any problem.

I had thought to leave it so momentarily if I did not risk compromising the system. Any problems?

And what about the css, is it bad practice?
