CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

The scope of CSS custom properties depends on the context of their declaration, global variables are usually defined in :root, while local variables are defined within a specific selector for componentization and isolation of styles. For example, variables defined in the .card class are only available for elements that match the class and their children. Best practices include: 1. Use: root to define global variables such as topic color; 2. Define local variables inside the component to implement encapsulation; 3. Avoid repeatedly declaring the same variable; 4. Pay attention to the coverage problems that may be caused by selector specificity. Additionally, CSS variables are case sensitive and should be defined before use to avoid errors. If the variable is undefined or the reference fails, the fallback value or default value initial will be used. Debug can be done through the browser developer
