critical-page.css

I’ll build this as a production-style critical page CSS file for RX Theme: fast above-the-fold layout, medical-site UI, accessibility, responsive rules, and safe WordPress defaults.

Dear friend, for this file:

assets/static/static-css/critical/critical-page.css

use it for above-the-fold page rendering: header, logo, navigation, hero, page title, breadcrumbs, first content block, layout skeleton, accessibility, responsive base, and WordPress core elements.

Critical CSS should normally be small, but below is an advanced full starter version for RX Theme.

For best performance, load this file early in <head>, and keep your larger normal CSS files separate, for example:

assets/static/static-css/main/global.css
assets/static/static-css/components/components.css
assets/static/static-css/layout/layout.css
assets/static/static-css/pages/page.css

This critical-page.css should control only the first visible area, so your page loads fast and avoids layout shifting.
