# Inline Small Block Stylesheets Instead of Loading Files

> Lets WordPress print more of the small per-block stylesheets directly in the page instead of as separate files, which saves several network requests on pages with many different blocks.

## Code

```php
// Total bytes of block CSS WordPress may inline per page (the default is 20000).
$wpide_inline_budget = 40000;

add_filter( 'styles_inline_size_limit', function () use ( $wpide_inline_budget ) {
    return (int) $wpide_inline_budget;
} );
```

## Notes

Works together with loading block styles separately; raise or lower the byte budget to balance page size against request count.
