that is a product your html. in fact, there are entire books written  
about it.

for example, if i put a external script in the head of the page that  
is a large
script, rendering of the entire page will pause.

if that script isnt needed to display the intial page, by moving the  
script
tag to the end of the body of the page, rendering will proceed quicker  
in
terms of time to display to user although overall speed will be the  
same.
