           To resolve the issue of reducing unused rules from stylesheets and deferring CSS not used for above-the-fold content in Webflow to decrease network activity, you can follow these steps:
- Identify and remove unused CSS rules:
 
- Open the Pages panel and select the specific page you want to optimize.
 - On the top right, click on the "Export" button.
 - In the Export panel, scroll down and click on the "Clean CSS" button.
 - Webflow will automatically remove any unused CSS rules from the exported code.
 
- Defer loading of CSS not used for above-the-fold content:
 
- Open the Dashboard and select the specific project you want to optimize.
 - Go to the Project Settings and select the "Custom Code" tab.
 - 
             Under the "Footer Code" section, paste the following snippet of JavaScript code:
             
```javascript ``` - Save the changes and publish your website.
 
- Inline critical CSS:
 
- Identify the critical CSS that is required for above-the-fold content to render.
 - Open the Designer and select the page in question.
 - Go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side.
 - 
             Under the "Head and Footer Code" section, paste the critical CSS using
             
<style></style>tags. - Save the changes and publish your website.
 
By following these steps, you will be able to reduce unused rules from stylesheets and defer loading of CSS not used for above-the-fold content in Webflow. This will help decrease network activity and improve the performance of your website.
