Instant results
Sooo easy to set up and a great way to deal with heavy JS from advertising etc. Really simple but brilliant approach to defer until user input. Pagespeed Insights overall score went from 58/70 to 99/100 for mobile & desktop respectively without any other changes (appreciate these values fluctuate anyway but that's a significant jump even +/- a few points on the final values).
