    Everything looks fine for me except the outline:0 point.
    This visual enhancement is really helpful when you’re navigating with the keyboard.
    I guess it as also accessibility concerns. Please leave the outlines!

    Stylesheets should be loaded first,
    loading importent ads will slow down the loading process, if the loading of your page takes to long people will just leave, so than the ads are useless to.

    Outline is there for useably so only remove if u know what u are doing.
    Minify your javascript. Use cache headers..

    There are many more ways to speed up your page..
