How long does the browser spend processing page CSS?
A longer time spent processing CSS should be considered blocking time within the browser.
CSS can be 1) included in your initial page HTML payload, 2) downloaded as a file.css, or 3) injected by third-party apps.
The more CSS that is evaluated on a page, the slower it will perform.
Large amounts of CSS on a page can also negatively affect re-rendering of the page when elements are resized, scrolls occur, or javascript code injects elements into the DOM to be rendered after initial page load.
