Autoptimize + Elementor (Autoptimize creates several strings)

    Hey guys,

    my autoptimize creates several strings. Maybe its conflicting with the elementor post grid? But its on every site and its very annoying, because it creates several strings who are render blocking.

    Maybe someone can help me with this, because i dont find any fix for it and all created critical path tools gave me a weird acting website.

    Thanks in advance

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Okay guys, for everyone who find this trough search, here is the solution:

    just delete the exceptions, who are pre-typed into the exclude css: wp-content/cache/, wp-content/uploads/, admin-bar.min.css, dashicons.min.css,

    I use elementor pro and the post-widget. Somehow this both together generates some serious render blocking issues. Now its gone and autooptimize works as intended.

    The only problem i have left is: one autoptimize file is still renderblocking, its the cache-file i guess, where everything is stored. And google-pagespeed tells me, that the autooptimize css file is unused. (or got unsued stuff in it)

    for render-blocking CSS the only solution is doing “inline & defer” with critical CSS I’m afraid, so try some of the other tools or try tweaking results manually for that.

    for unused CSS; The unused CSS is being reported as being Autoptimize’s, but AO merely aggregates all the CSS provided by your theme & plugins, so if you (really) want to tackle “remove unused CSS” then you should look into your theme & plugins (you might be able to get some improvement using e.g. “plugin organizer” to only allow plugins to work on specific pages). Moreover the unused CSS will likely be different for different pages (or parts of your site), so that would lead to different autoptimized CSS-files being loaded on different pages.

    hope this clarifies,

    Thanks for the answer! I already tried several, but the big problem is, that my site flashes in white after the pictures load in funny places and then everything is correct again. (if i use critical css)

    The loading gets very bad if i try to do that critical css stuff, im not sure why.
    Im not into CSS (thats why i use elementor), but could it help to inline all css? Or is my css-size too big for that to be helpful?

    I really dont know how i can tackle this, because all the “free” options i used seem not to work as intendet.

    Maybe you have some ideas, because im really running out of it.

    Inline all CSS would indeed fix the render-blocking warning, but will result in the HTML becoming huge, which is not really optimal either.

    I see. I wish there where a easier solution for this, because my budget for this little site dont allow more premium stuff.

    But thanks anyway, maybe you have some ideas, if not, i have to look further.

    given your sites current great performance I would not be too worried about render-blocking CSS 😉

    Thanks for that 🙂

    I inlined all css now and got a even better and faster page now. I dont have a big webpage and my blog posts are not heavy too, so it solved my problem i guess.

    I got lightning fast 1.3 – 1.7 seconds on google insights with a pagescore of 94. Maybe i finetune something later, but thats already very great.

    Thanks for the help and the plugin, it really helped me to make the website as fast as it is.
