Thomas,
One of my sites uses external CSS while a second site does not. I would think using external CSS is better because it can be cached. And of course, having 1 CSS file versus the 3 that Freeway generates is better because it means fewer server hits. But when using even 1 external CSS file, you still have the issue of it being considered a render blocker. Hence, Google wants you to split up the CSS, putting important stuff in the HEAD, and the rest anywhere else you like. Easy to say. Difficult to implement. Hence my suggestion that Freeway give us an option to handle that job for us.
If we trust Freeway to generate “good enough HTML” why not trust it to generate critical CSS and retain that in the HEAD while putting all else into a single external CSS file?
