Difference between @import and link in CSS
I've read about CSS @import as a bad practice, and was wondering about the methods I'm using.
I'm currently building a website using WordPress, which imports each plugin's stylesheets by link references, and the main stylesheet is linked in the same manner, however, the main stylesheet currently contains several @import declarations, which I believe I should be moving into the header or into the appropriate pages that they're used in (having two of them are only used on certain pages).
Are my concerns justified, and what are the implications of using those @import declarations?

It is best to NOT use @import to include CSS in a page for speed reasons. importing allows you to import one style sheet into another. This is slightly different than the link scenario, because you can import style sheets inside a linked style sheet.
Definition and Usage The @import rule allows you to import a style sheet into another style sheet. The @import rule must be at the top of the document (but after any @charset declaration). The @import rule also supports media queries, so you can allow the import to be media-dependent.
