Lighthouse: Why is it necessary to use disabled attribute in link tags for Performance enhancement?
What is the explanation behind the usage of disabled attribute on link tag to enhance performance according to lighthouse test reports? Will disabled not disable the link and styles will not be loaded ? Also by usage of media tag how will performance be optimized?

You're talking about https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/blocking-resources ?
Not sure exactly what you're asking...
If a <link rel=stylesheet has disabled on it, it's filtered out of consideration for the audit. So we ignore disabled stylesheets, just like the browser does.

Yes. I am a bit confused as said in the documentation you mentioned above. If a link tag is disabled then it wouldn't work so if we don't want a link to work why would we include it into our project?
