    Hi there,

    We are having an issue with Autoptimize calling for a non-existent CSS-Stylesheet during the rendering-process. The custom plugin “l1-redirect”, created by our developers, is present on many of our WP-domains.

    We use WP-Rocket for CSS-Optimization and Autoptimize for JS-Optimization.
    Therefore, I find it quite odd that as soon as I activate Autoptimize, which is NOT in charge for CSS-Optimization in our case, for some reason it originates a call for the non-existent file ../wp-content/plugins/l1-redirect/css/l1-redirect.css?ver=1.0.0

    The domain in object is https://www.mietrecht.com/, but many more WP-installations of us are affected by the very same issue.

    Is there anyway to prevent Autoptimize from calling this “ghost” file?

    based on the HTML source of that site, the culprit is wprocket in this case Roman, see the “data-rocket-async” attribute;

    
<link rel='preload'   href='https://www.mietrecht.com/wp-content/plugins/l1-redirect/css/l1-redirect.css?ver=1.0.0' data-rocket-async="style" as="style" onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'" type='text/css' media='all' />

    additionally when loading the site with ?ao_noptirocket=1 appended to the URL (which disables both AO and WP Rocket) I still see the stylesheet in the HTML source:

    <link rel='stylesheet' id='l1-redirect-css' href='https://www.mietrecht.com/wp-content/plugins/l1-redirect/css/l1-redirect.css?ver=1.0.0' type='text/css' media='all' />

    hope this clarifies,
    frank

    Hi Frank,

    I wonder why https://webpagetest.org/ is reporting a 404-error for https://www.mietrecht.com/wp-content/plugins/l1-redirect/css/l1-redirect.css?ver=1.0.0
    only when AO is active in combination with WP-Rocket. When AO is deactivated, there is no error message of this sort. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

    Moreover, the issue persists even when I deactivate WP-Rocket!

    the base issue is you have this in your unoptimized HTML:

    <link rel='stylesheet' id='l1-redirect-css' href='https://www.mietrecht.com/wp-content/plugins/l1-redirect/css/l1-redirect.css?ver=1.0.0' type='text/css' media='all' />

    so if not needed you’ll have to not enqueue (or dequeue) that CSS?

    Thank you again, I am going to ask to my team why is that!
