Title: Aggregate CSS/Javascript in a single file Last modified: March 10, 2023 --- # Aggregate CSS/Javascript in a single file * Resolved [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/) * We’re trying to use Autoptimize, ASYNC, and CriticalCSS on this site but my developer notes that when checking off the box to aggregate into a single file, it’s still pushing into individual files. Autoptimize is not currently connected in favor of the SiteGround Optimization plugin which is correctly aggregating to a single file, so you probably won’t be able to view from the console. * Is there any reason why this might happen that you can think of? We’d like to continue to support Autoptimize for this project, but SG Optimizer is taking precedence at this point. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16548000) * hard to say, but maybe disable SGO for a sec, enable AO (with aggregating options) and do a test on webpagetest.org and share the resulting URL, so I can see what is or is not happening? * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16548099) * Here’s the link: [https://www.webpagetest.org/result/230310_AiDcZJ_A5H/](https://www.webpagetest.org/result/230310_AiDcZJ_A5H/) * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16548118) * And here’s the GTMetrix report: [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/hovhannesa2.sg-host.com/5rW7Dm0d/](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/hovhannesa2.sg-host.com/5rW7Dm0d/) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16548234) * OK, try removing the default CSS optimization exclusions, that should fix most 🙂 * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16548265) * Okay, I unchecked “Aggregate all linked CSS-files? If this option is off, the individual CSS-files will remain in place but will be minified.” Now, the only checked item is the main CSS item and everything under remains unchecked. Can you check again please? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16548519) * that’s not what I meant Tony as with that configuration the CSS will not be aggregated at all. if you need all to be aggregated, re-enable “Aggregate all linked CSS- files?” and remove the default CSS optimization exclusions (and specifically ` wp-content/uploads`)? when done re-run the webpagetest.org test so I can compare 🙂 * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16551038) * Sorry about that…is this what you meant? * [https://nimb.ws/vrBPV9](https://nimb.ws/vrBPV9) * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16551041) * Actually doing that just got me an A rating and 92 score on GT Metrix. * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16551044) * Okay, now that I added Critical CSS with Autoptimize and ASYNC connected to Autoptimize, it results in a 99 score and A rating. [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/hovhannesa2.sg-host.com/VzooBhPb/](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/hovhannesa2.sg-host.com/VzooBhPb/) I’m all set now.

Leaving SG Optimizer and Autoptimize enabled actually got me to 100/A GT Metrix. Strange, but I’ll take it. 🙂 * Thread Starter [Tony Zeoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyzeoli/) * (@tonyzeoli) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16552551) * And 99 GPSI desktop. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16552903) * sweet Tony 🙂 Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Aggregate CSS/Javascript in a single file’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/autoptimize/assets/icon-256X256.png?rev=2211608) * [Autoptimize](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/autoptimize/reviews/) ## Tags * [single-page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/single-page/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * Last activity: [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aggregate-css-javascript-in-a-single-file/#post-16552903) * Status: resolved
