    YSlow require Firebug to previously be installed in order to run. It is an extension of the capabilities of Firebug and so is an extension of an extension, a meta-extension if you will.

    If you put the links to the CSS at the very top of the head section then that grade will jump from an F to an A.

    I doubt moving them above title makes any noticeable difference in the real world though.
