Autoptimize would otherwise move/defer this script to the footer, and the page would paint
light, then flash dark. The noptimize comments tell Autoptimize to leave it in the head.
Keep them. This is the ONE sanctioned inline script: it is 20 lines, has no dependencies,
and cannot break anything if it fails (the page just stays light).
