 * Hi, Jan! Thank you very much for your plugin, using that my PageSpeed Insights
   soar up to 88/100!
 * However that breaks the CSS for mobile view. If I un-check Asynchronous option
   everything comes back to place. If you open [one of the page of my blog](http://vscotch.ru/khrustalnaya-piramida/)
   on a mobile device you can see the problem.
 * Would you suggest any workaround for that?

 * Vscotch,
 * I think you don’t have an inline style in your page. I can see it viewing the
   source of your page.
 * Is the box for the inline/critical style in the settings page empty?

 * Yeah if you fill it up using the plugin or some other online tool, it’ll become
   better.
 * The logic of inline and defer is that the browser first uses inline/critical 
   CSS to paint and then the deferred CSS. This way the page is quicker as the inline
   is contained in the HTML file itself. In ordinary loading, there is a round trip
   between the browser and the server which delays loading and the page is slower.
 * In your case, since there is no inline, the browser either waits for the CSS 
   file or paints it using “user agent” – the browser’s default style.
 * So you should fill the box.

 * Thank you. I have extracted Full CSS but it probably was too big as online generator
   was giving time out error. I picked fist of the 8 CSS files and generated Critical
   Pach CSS succesfully. I filled the box with that data and that totally handled
   the issue. Thank you very much.

 * Am… the only thing I have wrong now is the Google Add on the main page which 
   is probably has automatic detection of format detects it wrongly and sticks out
   of it column – right column somewhere at the middle of [the main page](http://vscotch.ru/).
