Hey @graphictaste,
The jQuery JS files is coming from WordPress. It’s not recommended to remove it from the head as it might break functions of themes and plugins. It can only be done for highly customized sites where there is a qualified developer handling the development and maintenance of the website.
The Google font also must be loaded in the head as it might cause appearance issues.
We understand that users might be intimidated by the Render Blocking performance suggestion but, it is not feasible to comply with it out of the box as developers will need to take into account a lot of factors. An example of this is WordPress itself. Out of the box, it loads the jQuery JS in the head when its recommended to load all Javascript in the footer. But as you can see, it’s loaded in the head because developers need to take into account the things the might break if you load jQuery in the footer.
Only a developer can determine if you can load jQuery in the footer safely so I’d recommend that you consult with a third party developer for this.
